Florida Fish Market Fire Leads To Pot Bust

Police discovered a marijuana growing operation inside a warehouse on Tuesday morning after fire was reported at the building.

Firefighters said they found heavy smoke inside Northwest Seafood, a retail and wholesale fish market located on Northwest 27th Avenue.

After the smoke subsided, police entered the building and discovered what they described as a grow house on the top floor of the warehouse.

The Opa-locka police chief said the grow house may have been stealing electricity from the warehouse.
