Busting Indoor Pot Farms Becoming As Routine For Some Cops As Waking Up In The Morning & Brushing Their Teeth?

In Collier County, Florida, the Naples Daily News reports:

• For investigators from the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, busting a marijuana grow house is becoming as much a part of their daily routine as waking up in the morning and brushing their teeth. For the third time in four days, investigators busted a grow house on Friday in Golden Gate Estates, confiscating more than $200,000 worth of pot along with several thousand dollars worth of growing equipment, the Sheriff’s Office reported.

• "This is like Groundhog Day. Get up, go to work, go to a grow house," said Lt. Nelson Shadrick of the Sheriff’s Office’s Vice and Narcotics Bureau, referring to the Bill Murray movie where the main character repeats the same day over and over again.

• The bust comes three days after investigators uncovered 81 marijuana plants valued at nearly $250,000 at [one] grow house, and two days after they found 136 plants valued at about $408,000 inside [another], both in the Estates. [...] Friday’s bust was the seventh suspected grow house to be discovered in Collier County in 2008.
