LAPD busts THC drug lab disguised as pizza shop

Maybe they kneaded the dough.

What appeared to be a typical Los Angeles pizza shop was actually operating as a drug lab, cooking up illegal THC concentrate, according to the LAPD.

The “super lab” was discovered by cops in a shop in the 7300 block of Radford Avenue in North Hollywood next to an animal hospital, according to Commanding Officer Lillian L. Carranza.

Photos released by the police department show an officer standing beside giant vats that were used to cook the THC Honey Oil.

Other photos show plastic trays of oil stacked on kitchen racks typically used for food.

Police can be seen searching through cardboard pizza boxes that say “hot and ready”

These kinds of labs, Carranza said, are the type police have seen “explode, cause injuries, property damage and sometimes death.”

“We’ve heard of secret ingredients, but this takes the pie! It seems like criminals are getting more creative by the day,” LAPD said in a statement.

“From faux vending machines to pizza-making trickery, we are well aware of these sneaky things, keeping our city safe one clever bust at a time. This super ‘pizza’ lab won’t be making any more deliveries!”

Authorities have not said whether or not any arrests have been made in connection with the lab.

The bust comes just days after an LAPD K9 dog sniffed out a massive stash of cash and heroin that were stuffed inside of a vending machine, KTLA reported.

On Tuesday, K9 Bosco responded to a scene where police were executing a search warrant.

The dog pointed police to the vending machine, where they found a whopping 15 pounds of heroin, a kilogram of fentanyl and an assault rifle.
