Both the front and back doors of a house in the 800 block of Applewood Drive in the southeast were nailed shut with two-by-fours from the inside. No one was home. "It was locked up tighter than most," said Det. Chris Fileccia, who oversees the Southern Alberta Marijuana Investigation Team. Police also discovered a crude warning system -- empty beer cans strung together. The 320 pot plants seized would be worth $450,000 on the street, police said. A Crime Stopper's tip led to the house. Police said the grow op may have been in progress for at least a year. To mask the odour, a venting system had been installed on the home's roof. - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
