Not like you want to see though.  Sheriff's deputy just left here after stopping by and letting us know that what we had witnessed was no longer of any danger to the neighborhood.

About 45 minutes ago our phone rang and It was Tammy. She was at the end of our road telling me to go out side, that she could not get home.  As she turned the corner, a car flew up behind her and that is when she saw all the cop cars in front of the house about half way down from the corner to ours. She arrived just at the moment when the law was rushing the house heavily armed. I got outside and watched as they drug people out and put them on the ground. It only took a few moments and it looked like 4 people. We don't know anything about the residents, other than we had heard the wife and kids had left the home earlier this fall.

We had witnessed a methlab bust right here in our quiet little neighborhood.

I didn't think about it until after watching a few minutes, to go in and get the video camera Tammy and the kids got me for Christmas. It has a 42x zoom on it. I did get it in time to see two of the suspects on their knees in front of the car. I wished I'd of had it when I was watching them get drug out and arrested.  ;D   Shortly after they had the subjects out of the house, A firetruck and has-mat team rolled in.

That sounds like the kind of excitement and also the kind of neighbors that you do not need.  We had a local man that died last month after being badly burned in a meth lab explosion.  That is just beyond my comprehension.

It was on T.V. a few minutes ago. Really brief story with a couple still photos saying they would have more at 11:00. I bet they'd like to have my video. :)

I had training on how to recognize meth labs. Several years ago the County I live in had the most meth labs in NY. They are extremely volatile & dangerous. They are usually located in rural areas. The whole lab can fit in a cooler. And the people involved are very unstable. Glad their out of your neighborhood & everyone is OK.

We had similar excitement here in the development I live in twice in the past 4 years.

The first time was 4 years ago, when the SWAT team raided the house 5 doors down. Blew in the sliding glass door and lit of two percussion grenades. Were not actually after the home owners, but rather an uncle that came to stay ( or hide ) at their house that was wanted for drug dealing

Second time was about 4 weeks ago. Resident from our development was pulled over in route to Chicago with large quantity of wacky weed in his car. During interrogation, he admitted to having more at home. Police suprised his wife with late night raid of house and did recover more. Here is the really sad part, she was a vice principal at a local elementary school here in Fort Wayne.

You save your money and buy a $300,000 house in a nice neighborhood, only to find out two families within your same development are drug dealers or have family members that are. What a let down

This has always been a quiet neighborhood. We've been here since 1984. Stuff changes I guess. This is a nice brick home, but the original family moved a few years ago and it became a rental.  We've noticed screwy things there the last few months, like the garage door being destroyed like someone drove through it, and last month, one of the vehicles in the yard had all 4 tires flat, and even from the road you could see they had been slashed.

I'll try to upload my video. Its not to bad considering I was an 8th of a mile away and holding it freehand.

Yea, I'm pretty impressed with the camera. I had no idea what was on it until I plugged it in the computer. It was to far away to see, that's why I thought to grag the camera, as I didn't know where there were a pair of Binoculars handy.

When the Deputy came by, he let us know that nobody would be living there for awhile. Looking forward to seeing the news. They keep coming on the TV with teasers about it. I guess they caught them while they were cooking the stuff.

The Deputy called this a "two liter" operation.

THey should have shot them onsite.   I have a cousin on the stuff in TN and   its ruined him.        I was on a job in Alabama one time and the sheriffs  dpt called and asked us to bring in a track loader.     THey had a Lab burn down and we  had to wear  space suits to  clean up the site.   

About 3 years ago I was  helping a friend that  fosters children .   He  and his wife  had to go to the burn center as the children they were fostering went back to their parents.      While home their parents were cooking meth and  the lab blew up.        It burnt the childrens arms and backs pretty bad.       I was there for one of the  dead tissue cleaning.   The nurses were very gentle with the kids.   THe parents that had the worst of the fire  was a different story.   With a few orderlies the drs and nurses  did some heavy and hard brushing and scrubbing.

Meth lab busts are a regular occurrence around here. We found out Karen's previous home had been extensively renovated before she moved in, it had been a lab. ::) The laws regarding returning a dwelling to legal for occupancy are really strict.
