Massive Marijuana Field Discovered in Chicago
Chicago police have discovered a field of marijuana plants spanning the equivalent of two football fields — a crop that has an estimated street value of $7 million to $10 million, CBS Chicago reported.
Officials found the field on the city’s South Side during a helicopter operation Tuesday.

Cook County Sheriff’s Deputy Edward Graney said he was flying in a police helicopter after a training exercise when he spotted “five rows of plants, straight line configuration.”
“It didn’t look normal for wild growth,” he said.
The field, containing more than 1,500 cannabis plants, some as tall as Christmas trees, was set back about 100 yards from the street and was hidden by wild flowers.
