Police find underground pot garden
The trunk of a car near Darrington leads to a buried shipping container with everything needed to grow a marijuana crop, police say.
A drug bust turned bizarre when police searched the trunk of an abandoned car on Tuesday.
"The bottom of the trunk had been cut apart - an area about 3 by 3 feet square with a black board sitting on top of this cutout," said Sgt. John Flood of the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force.
When police lifted the board out of the way, they found a ladder that led to a secret underground passageway. The trunk, it turned out, was the access hatch to what police believe was an underground marijuana-growing shelter.
