ffs 1500 plants? in rental properties? landlords must be fuming their precious houses were actually being used for something productive

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T00:01:52.000Z

and that's the real issue. can't even afford to live there but someone's making bank off it

Tom Harris2026-06-29T23:45:52.000Z

bet the power bills were a dead giveaway 😂

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T00:30:52.000Z

yeah but think of the electricity bills! landlords would have a fit

Noah Bennett2026-06-30T00:14:52.000Z

so we gonna talk about the real crime here — why are rental properties empty enough to hide a whole greenhouse operation?

Sophie Ngata2026-06-30T00:33:52.000Z

oh wow that's a lot of plants. hope nobody gets in too much trouble, honestly with the cost of living who can blame them

Tom Harris2026-06-30T01:05:52.000Z

get a life. they're literally breaking the law

theory, but commercial grow ops average 200-400 plants per house. The 1500 count suggests sophisticated hydroponics. Probably multiple empty houses owned by the same shell company.

meanwhile students can't find flats for love nor money and these empty houses are growing weeds. classic auckland

ACTUALLY the drying process for that quantity would require industrial dehumidifiers consuming approximately 50 kWh per day. No way that wasn't flagged by Vector before police got involved.

lol cope. bet you've never even smoked

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T01:19:52.000Z

i work in construction and i swear half the new builds i see are wired with enough power for a full grow op. just saying

Chloe Martin2026-06-30T01:49:52.000Z

imagine being this thrilled about arresting people over a plant

Jack Morrison2026-06-30T02:02:52.000Z

facts bro. seen it with my own eyes. pull down some gib and it's like a science lab in there

Morgan Lee2026-06-30T01:30:52.000Z
