Investigators with Clovis Police, the DOJ, and the HITA team spent Tuesday processing a home turned crime scene -- seizing more than 10 pounds of marijuana, honey oil and 3,400 cans of butane.

"It is extremely dangerous and could potentially take down the entire side of the house," said Sgt. Jim Munro.
Sgt. Munro referenced a previous explosion he'd worked just last year, where just one can of butane caused a car explosion in a shopping center at Willow and Nees.
"Kids are walking out here to-and-from school and that's a major concern not just for us, but for the neighbors and residents in this neighborhood," he said.
Neighbors stood in shock as investigators laid out the evidence.
"I can't believe it not in this neighborhood this is a real nice safe neighborhood. We know each other we've had Christmas parties together no problems at all," said John Pokorny.
One neighbor didn't want to show his face on camera but was stunned to learn of the activity just feet from his home, "This whole block the kids play on the street all the time I mean this is shocking this is a good neighborhood."
This is the second honey oil lab bust Clovis Police have investigated in this month alone.

Less than 3 weeks ago, they teamed up with Fresno police to take down three large scale honey oil labs in East Central Fresno.
Investigators called it the largest operation they'd seen in the Valley.
Clovis Police arrested one man living the home. Officers say another person living in the home wasn't involved. They added a child did live there part-time.
The person arrested hasn't been identified yet, but he is being booked in the Fresno County Jail.
