Grow site next to L.A. police station busted

File this under “bad idea”: A marijuana-growing operation located just 25 feet from a Los Angeles Police Department substation in Canoga Park was shut down after officers caught a whiff of herb in their parking lot.

This post from the L.A. Now news blog described two grow rooms and a harvesting station set up in a Canoga Avenue warehouse. “It was very sophisticated,” LAPD Officer Karen Raynor said. Three men were arrested early Wednesday; their names were not released.
