The force of the blast was so powerful it blew out the garage’s overhead door and buckled a side wall.
Officers executed a search warrant at the home Monday night. Once inside, they seized several butane containers used to produce hash oil, Chief Marc Robichaud of the Ste. Anne Police Service told Global News. The drug is made by dissolving hashish or marijuana in solvents like acetone, alcohol, butane or petroleum. Investigators believe the explosion was caused by the gas.
Arrests are pending.
