Yesterday about 1:45 p.m., a Eureka Police officer was alerted to a possible burglary in a vacant home in the 1500 block of 5th Street, according to Suzie Owsley, spokesperson for the EPD.

Someone had removed screens from the windows of the abandoned home.

“Officers found forced entry in to two vacant apartments with one of the rooms being used as a drying room for marijuana,” Owsley said. “Only marijuana debris was found in the room.”

The cops were told about the grow house in September. They took no action. Fumbling upon it in the course of “investigating” a “burglary” is laughable. Like the FBI with 9/11. Monkey see no evil, hear no evil, etc. ….
