THE RUINS OF THE THURSDAY NIGHT FIRE in the Kensington Market neighborhood of Toronto, Ontario (Firegeezer report HERE) have exposed still more evidence of criminal mischief.

Investigators have been able to  confirm the existance of a large marijuana farm in the basement of the gutted building.  However, they have not yet been able to get into the basement for further search because of the unsafe condition of the building.  There are so many layers of debris in the basement covering everything that they will have to peel them back layer by layer when they are finally able to get in their.

A police source told a Toronto Sun reporter yesterday that they are still not sure whether or not there is a body in there.  It is looking more certain that the cause of the fire was an electrical overload on the extension cords used to propgate the farm.  The bad guys were stealing electricity from their neighbors by running extension cords through the yard and feeding a network of cords inside the house.

During the course of their search through the house, plastic bags filled with drugs have come tumbling out of the walls as the investigators tear them apart.  The house has been vacant for over a year it was sold to a party of perhaps three investors.  However, it is still unclear today who the current owner is.

More reports to follow as updates come in.
