Moreno Valley Blast Linked to Suspected Drug Lab

Two people were critically injured after an explosion, suspected to have been caused by a butane honey oil drug lab, rocked a home on Pattilynn Drive in Moreno Valley, California, at approximately 10:30 a.m. The blast blew the roof off the house and started a fire that was contained within 20 minutes, with no damage to neighboring properties. Authorities discovered pressurized equipment and several tanks in the garage, reinforcing suspicions of illegal drug manufacturing. Both victims sustained moderate to major burns and were hospitalized, with one detained for questioning. A hazardous materials team responded to the scene, and an investigation is ongoing. Such incidents are often linked to the hazardous process of extracting THC from cannabis using butane.
