BOSTON — Police investigating a house burglary while the residents were on vacation said they found an elaborate marijuana farm, a built-in irrigation system and more than 85 pounds of the drug inside the house.
John and Linda Jones are to be charged when they return, police spokeswoman Jane Sheehan said. Police investigating the burglary report Friday also found a message written in lipstick on a bathroom mirror, apparently by the burglar. “It said: ‘Ha ha busted,’ ” Sheehan said.
