New York City marshals executing a court-ordered eviction at 750 Pelham Parkway
South in the Bronx found a cannabis grow operation in apartment 1V around midday
on 12 May 2026.[1]The marshal called the New York City Sheriff’s Office task
force, which confirmed the flat was an illegal grow house, and the sheriff’s
office raided and shut it down.[2]
Officers seized 299 cannabis plants at every stage of growth, along with
marijuana and THC flowers.[1]Telemundo 47, citing the Sheriff’s Office, put
the marijuana at 147.2 pounds, about 66.7 kilograms, and other outlets described
roughly 300 pounds of plants and 147 pounds of THC flowers.[1]Nobody was
inside the apartment, and police said no arrests were immediately made.[3]
The NYPD said the five-room flat had special ventilation and lighting systems
and that its power supply had been illegally altered to keep the operation
running.[3]The apartment was dangerous enough that the fire department’s
hazardous materials unit and the buildings department were called and flats two
floors up were evacuated.[1]
Neighbours said they had never seen anyone enter or leave the apartment, and the
NYPD asked for tips as it searched for whoever ran the operation.[3]
Investigators had not located the person responsible and made no arrests as of
15 May 2026.[4]

Who acted differs between accounts: CBS News attributes the seizure to the NYPD, while Telemundo 47, News 12 and PIX11 say city marshals made the discovery and the New York City Sheriff's Office handled the grow, with the NYPD seeking a suspect.
The weight figures are inconsistent and partly unseparable: Telemundo 47 gives 147.2 pounds of marijuana, while News 12 and PIX11 describe roughly 300 pounds of cannabis plants plus 147 pounds of THC flowers; kg_seized records only the 147.2-pound (66.7 kg) marijuana total.
The plant weight is not separated from the THC-flower weight in the outlets that give it, so no combined 300-pound figure is recorded as cannabis weight.
CBS calls the products marijuana plants and THC flowers; no laboratory analysis or licensing status was reported.
No arrests had been made and no suspect identified in the opened accounts; no charges or court outcome were reported.
Telemundo 47 gives the discovery before midday, while PIX11 says marshals arrived around 12:30 p.m.; the report does not choose between them.
The submitted CBS page shows one photo of the seized plants; no direct address for any additional video on the pages cited was recovered, so none is listed.
