Hot Spot

|

Police in London, England, cut the lock of a neighbor's gate to get to Pamela Hardcastle's garage, then used a battering ram to knock down the door. They were looking for marijuana because an infra-red imaging device on a police helicopter picked up a "hot spot" in the garage. They thought it was lighting used in an indoor growing operation. But when they got into they garage they found only the family's pet hamsters and the heater they use to keep them warm.
