Investigators say they found seven 50 gallon barrels of explosive chemicals -- what officials say is enough to take out an entire city block.

They add their joint investigation has been going on for one month-- and add the honey oil labs were a multi-million dollar operation.

It's unclear what the commercial building was, but the signs in front say it used to be a place of ministry.

One person has been arrested.
