Authorities have dubbed them the "marijuana grannies." Police in San Bruno, California, arrested Aleen Lam, 72, and Virginia Chan Pon, 65, after officers found 800 pot plants and a bypass to steal electricity from PG&E in the women's house, reports AP. The senior duo faces a slew of related charges.
"I have never seen or heard of women in their 60s and 70s running a grow house," District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe tells the San Francisco Chronicle. "I certainly hope it is aberrational rather than a trend. I suppose profiteering in illegal enterprises crosses all the generations." (More marijuana stories.)
