Just Wait ‘Til The Trouble When Symphony House Opens

Police busted a marijuana-growing operation yesterday, seizing 30 pounds of marijuana plants worth around $70,000. Neighbors tipped off the officers to the operation. Police also confiscated heat lamps and related equipment and charged Saji Ravindran with conspiracy, recklessly endangering another person, risking a catastrophe, drug possession and possession with intent to deliver. (Hmm, will some news organization bring up the firefighters who died while fighting a marijuana growing operation blaze in 2004? KYW 1060’s Tony Hanson, there we go.)

What makes this bust notable is that it happened at the Dockside, the condos on the Delaware River waterfront just south of Bainbridge. Ravindran was leasing a condo on the 10th floor of the building, and he probably won’t be getting his security deposit back. Units in Dockside sell for about $600,000.
