Hidden Tunnel Reveals $51 Million Grow Under Victorian Theater In England
The history in a 120-year-old building is priceless. Or in the case of an old, Victorian-style theater in London, about £40 million ($51 million). That’s because police there recently made a stunning discovery: in the bowels of the 750-seat Broadway Theatre, authorities uncovered a massive (and lucrative) cannabis farm.
HIGHLIGHTS
- London police believe that the weed factory had been in operation for about a decade, and that those running it likely cleared £4 million ($5.1 million) a year.
- Three men, aged 28, 45, and 47, and a 36-year-old woman have been arrested.
- “To think this has been happening next to us for ten years without any of us noticing is certainly surprising. I was shocked,” the neighbor said.
