A marijuana bust Wednesday got some very powerful pot off the streets of Yonkers.
Police arrested 29-year-old Antonio Derville, of Yonkers, and charged him with possession of marijuana. Yonkers anti-crime unit officers had the house on Warburton Avenue under surveillance when they say they spotted Derville walking on the street. According to police, when the suspect spotted the officers he dropped a shopping bag. Police found five large plastic bags containing five pounds of marijuana.
Police say the marijuana is called hydro pot, which is short for hydroponic. Police say it is marijuana that's grown indoors and is more potent and more expensive.
