Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Authorities seized more than 500 marijuana plants this week from a Los Banos home believed to be connected to a large drug trafficking enterprise.

This was an organized, highly sophisticated operation, Los Banos police Cmdr. Jason Hedden said. Investigators found numerous ballast systems and indoor lights inside the home.

No arrests were made Thursday when the Merced County Multi-Agency Narcotics Task Force raided a home in the 700 block of Friguglietti Avenue, though multiple suspects are wanted in connection with the growing operation. Suspect descriptions were not available Friday.

There was no one at the home when the search warrant was served, Hedden said.

Agents seized about 520 marijuana plants and about 4 pounds of trimmed marijuana buds, with an estimated street value of about $1.7 million, Merced County Sheriffs Deputy Ray Framstad said.

This is a neighborhood with a lot of young children, little kids that play in their yards, Framstad said. This grow created a significant danger in the neighborhood of potential robberies or violence.

Framstad said the complicated electrical wiring involved a large amount of utility theft and created a serious fire hazard.

All the electricity they pulled to operate the lights had melted underground electrical wires, he said.

Framstad said the case was developed by the task force with Los Banos police Officer Marcelino Cortez as lead investigator, but said he could not elaborate on what initiated the case. Efforts to reach the task force directly were unsuccessful Friday.

The Los Banos Police Department and the Merced County Sheriffs Department assisted with the raid.

A March 1 fire at Bennie Smith Funeral Home in Millsboro was accidental, the state fire marshal says.

The Delaware State Fire Marshal's office determined the fire started in the first-floor ceiling and was caused by an electrical malfunction in branch circuit wiring, said Chief Deputy State Fire MarshalHarry R. Miller.

The total damage was estimated at $350,000, he said.

The Millsboro Volunteer Fire Co. responded to a building fire on Washington Street. Upon arrival, heavy smoke was showing from the second floor and attic of the funeral home, which was built in the late 1800s, according to the Millsboro Volunteer Fire Co. website. Crews worked for several hours to extinguish the fire, which had traveled throughout the balloon construction structure.

Millsboro was assisted by the Georgetown, Dagsboro, Gumboro, Frankford, and Indian River fire companies. The Roxana Fire Company also responded with its rehab unit.

AGENT: Jen Tripp, Homelife/Realty One. Ltd. Brokerage

When Martin Griffey moved to Canada eight years ago, he wasnt exactly sure where he wanted to live. So, he took a drive with his real estate agent, Jen Tripp.

As they drove through the gently shaded streets of Riverdale, he quickly fell for the neighbourhood. It wasnt just the convenience of being close to the amenities of the Danforth, he says. It was also because he was a short jaunt to the 505 streetcar that takes him straight into the core. And, yet, even so close to the citys hustle and bustle, Victor Avenue is sandwiched between two parks.

Riverdale Park is just a walk away and Withrow Park is just on the other side, Mr. Griffey says.

Plus, as he points out, you get more space for your money in Riverdale compared with Cabbagetown, which is across the Don River. In 2006, Mr. Griffey paid $585,000 for 81 Victor Ave.

A home security camera captured a man trying to break into a Boynton Beach home. The homeowner was watching from work and called police. The man was arrested.

2:37 p.m. EST, March 7, 2014

Jennifer Clewes couldn't believe what she was seeing on the computer screen, and neither could the huddle of co-workers who sat behind her as they watched a man trying to break into her house.

Clewes was viewing a live-feed from a webcam in her office after being alerted via the webcam's app that there was motion at the house.

When she logged on, she saw a man whom police suspect is Christopher Robinson, 43, trying to get into her house just after 9 a.m. Thursday in her neighborhood east of Interstate 95 and north of Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach.

Boynton Beach police say the suspect walked up to Clewes' home carrying a crowbar and tried to get in the house through the rear sliding door.

When he came up to the door at about 9:11 a.m., her camera alerted her, she said. She figured it was her two golden retrievers at home stressing over a neighborhood cat in the yard and ignored the alert.

But when it alerted her again six minutes later, she decided to log on and see what her pups were up to. She saw her two dogs barking, but not at a cat they were barking at a man.

"I immediately picked up my phone and called police," she said. "They are like, 'Are you in the house?' and I'm like, 'No, I'm watching it live.'"

Police arrived on scene, and located Robinson one street north of Clewes' home. He is charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and petit theft, and is being held in the Palm Beach County Jail in lieu of a $500 bail.

Garland, TX (PRWEB) March 06, 2014

Its that time of year for sitting back in the easy chair, watching some March Madness basketball and drinking green beer. The coldest weather is in the past and the first day of spring will soon be here, which also means there are stuff that need to get done around the house before the hot weather gets here. Spring cleaning and maintenance need to be completed soon around the home.

In Texas, the most important maintenance of all is on the air conditioning system. Homeowners dont want to start a hot Texas summer with a broken air conditioner or one that is not working to its highest level of cooling. Arctic Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning urges homeowners to get their air conditioner checked, but when is the best time?

Arctic Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning believes the best time to have an AC system checked by a professional is when the outdoor temps are more than 70 degrees. The warmer the temp, the better for having the system checked. When the temperature is cooler than 70 degrees, the AC unit will not be working very hard and will not provide as accurate an evaluation as it would under warmer conditions.

There are many electrical components in the outdoor condensing unit. For the technicians safety, it cannot be raining or have rained recently. Water and electricity are a deadly mix.

In the meantime, while waiting on the ideal weather conditions for a summer air conditioning tune up, which usually begins in April, Arctic Comfort Heating and Air Conditioning has some tips to keep in mind for other spring maintenance chores. They suggest checking and changing air conditioning filters, as well as cleaning out gutters for proper drainage, checking the roof for any winter damage, getting the garden ready for spring seeding, having the lawn equipment serviced and ready for use, trimming dead limbs out of trees and shrubs, fertilizing the lawn and inspecting and caulking leaky windows and doors.

When its time to schedule an air conditioning tune up or replacement, give Arctic Comfort Air Conditioning and Heating a call any time, any day, at 972-530-8384.
