RAW video from Sky 4 of an underground marijuana growing operation. From DPS: “At approximately 9 a.m. today, Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Special Agents served a search warrant in the 5800 Block of Magnum Drive in Arlington. While serving the search warrant, an illegal underground marijuana grow was located in the back yard of the residence being searched.

The marijuana was found in an underground room that was completely separate from the residence. It was approximately 20 feet from the house in the backyard covered by an outdoor patio. Under the patio was a covering that led to a hole that was approximately 9 feet deep. A ladder led to the bottom of the underground location. The underground opening where the Marijuana was being grown was approximately 14 ft. by 8 ft. and contained around 100 plants.

Arlington Fire Dept. was called to the scene to ensure the underground location was structurally secure while agents collect evidence.

Two individuals were arrested at the residence: Tri Vo, age 31 and Jlicia Perry, age 26. Both suspects were transported to the Tarrant County Jail for cargo theft (Texas Penal Code 31.18). The investigation is currently underway and additional charges may be forthcoming.”
