DRUG PRODUCTION LED TO DUPLEX BLAST

Northeast - Police say an explosion in a northeast duplex was caused 
by a drug production operation.

The resident of the home was attempting to cook hash for personal use 
when volatile vapours were ignited by a furnace pilot light, said 
duty inspector Guy Slater of the Calgary Police Service.

The explosion blew out the windows and buckled the interior walls in 
half of the duplex in the 6800 block of 26th Avenue N.E. around 7:15 
p.m. Sunday.

Slater said charges are pending.
