Yep...I've followedf this story in Houston too ABS.
What is interesting isn't the 5 or so houses that got knocked over....but how.
They seemed to have been doing the job right. No neighbors noticed....no smells....no light leaks....paid for all electricity etc.
What got them busted was SNITCHING. Appearantly two Vietnamese dudes get busted on a small having a small amount of bud. Something like an oz or two.
The cops take them in...put some pressure on them....and they spill the beans on the whole op. It took like 3-4 months to raid the houses because all the info they had was from the snitches.
They then had to actually investigate the goings on in the neighborhood. Then they raided.
So if not for those weak ass underlings....they would still be in business. It wasn't the choppers, FLIR, or some do or die supercop that brought em down......It was snitches.....as always. |
