Operation "Green Reaper" Sweeps King County
Friday, 12 September 2008

Seattle – Law enforcement officials from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Kent, Auburn, Renton, Tukwila and Port of Seattle Police Departments announced that, federal agents and local authorities executed 13 search warrants on indoor marijuana grow operations in King County. Today’s activities are part of the collaborative effort by law enforcement in ‘Operation Green Reaper’, targeting the command and control components of the Puget Sound’s indoor marijuana grow organizations.

Assistant Special Agent in Charge (ASAC) David Dongilli stated, “It is important for the public to know how dangerous indoor marijuana cultivation is to our community. These drug trafficking organizations are concealing their illegal activities in the very heart of many of our neighborhoods. Drug traffickers are buying or leasing suburban homes and illegally modifying them, usually with jury-rigged electrical wiring and extensive internal irrigation systems, and utilizing substantial amounts of toxic chemicals and fertilizers (which are ultimately either dumped or wind up as byproducts in the municipal sewer and water systems) in order to grow their marijuana.

Now, how long has the war on drugs been up and running?

Twenty years and we haven't got control of this problem, yet?

All government agencies like this revenue!
