Drug Dealer's ABANDONED Mansion with Everything Inside | SECRET Operation

Today, we discover a once-thriving mansion now abandoned, hiding secrets that would shock the community. In 2018, this unremarkable home was thrust into the spotlight when a police raid revealed a disturbing reality.”
Inside, authorities uncovered a staggering 79 marijuana plants, flourishing in the in the attic of the home. But that was just the beginning. They found an arsenal of weapons-machine guns, handguns and nearly $7000 in counterfeit cash tools of a life lived on the edge, a life that spiraled into chaos.”
The man who called this place home was an unemployed recluse living inside the attic of his elderly mother’s home. trapped in a web of his own making. Authorities received a tip on man’s secret operation. His actions led to a six-year prison sentence, but the cost was far greater. After his arrest, his elderly mother passed away, leaving this house to decay, with everything still inside.
So join me today and let’s see what’s left.

This house must have been the coolest in it's time. I grew up in this era and I love it. The memories they must have. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

Where is this,in which State ? Look forward to your answer.

It is sad how children have no respect to someone else's property.

[@anne-marieperjean6883]

Malheureusement il n'y a pas que des enfants qui font un tel carnage 😡 il y a aussi beaucoup d'ados et d'adultes qui aiment détruire pour leurs amusements

[@Chadrocker53]

They Don’t have Respect For Themselves Either. Fools….

[@conniejohnson290]

For the little few of me, I will never understand what kids get out of destroying other people's properties.they certainly wasn't raised with any respect.

[@kimholch1006]

I agree.

[@IMAXXHEW]

Consider maybe it wasn't kids. Maybe EVERYBODY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD didn't want the damned drug dealer to feel welcome back when they get released from prison? You'd probably clean it, fix it up, roll out the red carpet, call the Uber to pick them up from prison right? Because you like drug dealers in your neigborhood.

[@Karan-th8td]

I agree. WHY do they want to destroy stuff?😮

[@diannamorrison2431]

What I love about is that you don't judge older decor by today's standards. That would have been a "groovy" house in the 1970's.

[@alihall676]

Thank you for this journey back into time, not too long ago. You have a strong moral compass which is to be commended. Also, regarding your son, put that as your #1 priority. You won’t regret this time with him. I am a 15 year cancer survivor and should not be here. Embrace the time with your son. Stay safe and stay well. Many blessings! ❤

My husband and I adore your videos and we really enjoyed watching today's video, beautiful home! We're watching from Arizona

[@donnamoseley3581]

Very cool house! My fav room was the first bedroom you showed. The pictures you showed that you thought were old Polaroids were actually old color slides that you would use in a slide projector. The rabbit with the horns was affectionately known as a Jackalope. A rabbit with horns from something else. It was a thing. And I hate to see a place like that vandalized!

[@lilybailey5349]

Thank you for Not Sharing Location . Hope the person who lived there got the support needed. Stay safe have a great new year 😊 prayers for you and your family xx

[@Nuf_Nivah]

You do know that the government would have seized the property. And if he was a recluse and it was weed he wouldn’t have been a bother to anyone else. And the money they found was from where the police set him up with the help from someone that was supposed be a friend. And they did something that got them arrested and instead of being an adult they did this so that they wouldn’t go to jail.

[@KevJ1247]

Thank you for Not Sharing Location - lol 😂 but he shares it with his privileged group of associates. We didn't need to hear his speech in every video. He says it to be the Good Trespasser 😂

[@theonlyalo]

That bedroom with the two recliners had someone old and sick in it. Someone people were taking care of. Probably his mother. 💔 He left the room exactly as it was after she died, and became a recluse.

[@Im_just_a_ghoul13]

According to the story the mother passed away AFTER the son was arrested and in Jail/prison.

[@KarlaWike-eo2cv]

So odd they left that room alone! My toxic trait would be wanting to clean the house so I looked good again.

Hello from the UK. That bedroom at 15:00 really gives off an old person's room with the decor and single chairs rather than a kids room. Such a cool house and being a child of the late 70s, I actually love the 70s colours and vibe lol.

[@jenniferbloyd509]

I agree! My 1st thought was Grandma’s room.

I hope that the new year brings you nothing but love, health, and happiness for you and your family. ❤ from Wisconsin.

[@rae4976]

Sending loving and positive wishes to you and your family ❤️ I hope that your son's treatment goes smoothly, and works as it's intended to. I've loved watching your channel grow from the first explorations! I said it before when you replied to my comment and I'll say it again. I knew that you would be great and show us amazing places. On a side note, I've been looking in my area in upstate NY for an abandoned, foreclosed, or bank-owned home. I don't know where this is, and I'm not asking because I agree with you that these places shouldn't be put out there for these kids who have no respect for other people's property and trash them. That makes me so frustrated and sad for the house. If this home was in my area I would love to purchase it! It's exactly what I'm looking for. I love that it's outdated! Happy early New Year I hope that 2025 will bring nothing but wonderful things for you, your family, and your channel ❤️.

[@sylviafigueroa8789]

Hello from Arizona. The lady of the house may have passed away before 2020 and the son may have winterized it then. That home was once a beautiful place filled with memories too bad it's left to ruins.😢

The lady's another son died of a motorcycle accident, and the only son was busted for drugs, and that was why the place was ransacked . Later, more people came in and ransacked more
