Narcotics Operation Exposed After Meth Lab Explosion

     A local narcotics operation has been exposed after an explosion at a meth lab, a statement from police reads.

     Residents of Shadyville Ohio were shaken yesterday after an explosion shook the tiny town during the early hours of the morning. Homeowners dialed 911 after what they described as a "mushroom like cloud" was seen rising above an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town.
     
     Police and Firefighters arriving on the scene discovered a distraught man trying to put out the flames with a garden hose. Witnesses say the man was screaming incoherently about "his crystal" and how "the whole operation was ruined."

      As the smoke settled it became apparent that there were components of a methamphetamine laboratory among the charred remains. Boxes of common ingredients in the deadly drug was also found in a trailer not far from the warehouse.

       The man was taken in for questioning by police but so far no arrests have been made. "We've never seen anything like this" police chief Carl Poppa said in an interview "It's a shock, but we have our best detectives looking into this."

"It's hard to believe that something like this can happen in your own community," resident John Baxter stated, "You have to be so careful nowadays."
     
       A police investigation is ongoing, and the town is on high alert for more suspicious activity.
