After Home Invasion Robbery, Police Discover Marijuana Growing Operation At Woodland Hills Home
Call me crazy, but if your marijuana growing business gets robbed I think you just eat the loss and don’t bother calling the police.
“Officer, they beat us up and stole our drugs!”
WOODLAND HILLS – A man was in custody today on suspicion of growing marijuana inside his Woodland Hills residence after he called police to report a home invasion robbery.
Police were also searching for two men in their 20s who broke into the home, beat the residents and took cash from them.
The robbery occurred around 9:15 p.m. Monday in the 22000 block of Mulholland Drive, said Sgt. Jeff Collada of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Topanga Station.
“We believe this all stems from the narcotics activity in the residence,” Sgt. Thomas Mason of the Topanga Station said this morning.
The resident who was robbed “was arrested after they found approximately 50 plants” in the residence, Mason said. “There was lighting, hydroponics, ventilation — the usual set-up.”
The residential neighborhood is west of the junction with Topanga Canyon Boulevard and south of the Ventura (101) Freeway.
Collada urged anyone with information about the case to call LAPD Topanga Station detectives at 818-756-4820.

Stories like this get reported all the time- somebody gets robbed of their dope and they report it to the police. You’d HAVE to be stoned to do that.
Stuff like this is why I get tired of being told I shouldn’t be overly concerned about the dozens of medical marijuana dispensaries within two miles of my house, or the people who drive to my neighborhood and park on my street to smoke out…illegal drugs attract criminal activity and lead to the potential for violence. So frustrating that the police can’t do anything about it because it’s all ‘legal.’
Same old lame stories. I actually agree with you salt water. However how come marijuana is still illegal when almost everyone smokes it? Right? What if they legalize it already and just implement a tax on it? Wouldn’t that be a win-win situation?
