Deputies arrested 10 people as they busted a drug house in Lakeside Thursday morning, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
At 5:30 a.m., deputies served a search warrant to a suspicious house at 9001 Creekford Drive.
Inside, they say they found a hash oil lab and a half-pound bag of methamphetamine. Hash oil, also known as butane honey oil or “wax," is concentrated marijuana made using the highly flammable gas butane.
Illegal labs that produce it have caused multiple explosions and fires in San Diego County.
According to officials, the county’s hazardous materials team determined the Creekford Drive home was uninhabitable, and the property was condemned.
The owner of the home will be charged with operating a drug house, investigators say, and the remaining suspects were booked into jail on charges of possession of a controlled substance for sales, felony and misdemeanor warrants and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The investigation is ongoing.
