Only In British Columbia?
Who'da thunk that such a popular industry would be run by such an ingenious, inventive mind who appeared to believe that his product is so valuable and popular that it should be protected by the presence of discreetly and discretely placed land mines? Well, come to think of it, there is some similarity in situation to the poppy fields in Afghanistan and the IEDs implanted on the roadways in that country.
But Surrey, B.C.?
Dozens of home-made land mines were discovered on a property, placed indiscriminately, according to the RCMP, within the house being used as a gro-op, and out on the property on which the residence sits. The whole shebang close to the United States border, straddling the Pacific Highway, which acts as a major conduit for truck traffic between Canada and the U.S.
"We don't want cars going by and then turning into balls of fire", said RCMP spokesman Corporal Drew Grainger, explaining why they cleared the highway and surrounding neighbourhood for five hours, fearful than an explosion at the house would have the potential of causing catastrophic damage for several hundred metres, north, south, east, west.
Police took additional precautions, cutting gas and electricity service to the neighbourhood. Even to establishing a no-fly zone over the area. "These devices were placed within the residence and on the perimeter indiscriminately to prevent any unwanted entry onto the property." Brilliant, that's what it was, a brilliant plan.
It's an illegal drug house, so to ensure that no one knows about its presence, keep it under wraps by littering it with explosives. Presumably, should one of those live bombs have been detonated, not only would the life of the intruder be forfeit, but all the swag that he and the owners had sought to procure/protect would be demolished.
What can you expect from callow, inexperienced young hoods, starting out on their crime careers? Oops, the home's owner, later arrested, is a 58-year-old?
Great Balls of Fire!
