CHICAGO (CBS) - Chicago police have located a massive marijuana field on the South Side, with an estimated street value of $ 7 million to $ 10 million.
Officers say they discovered a field of pot that spans the equivalent of two football fields at 107th Street and Stony Island.
The field is near the Harborside International Golf Center.

Authorities say more than 1,500 cannabis plants, with a value of up to $ 10 million, were discovered during a helicopter operation Tuesday.
Some of the plants were as tall as Christmas trees.

The field was discovered yesterday around noon by a pilot Edward Graney, who was flying a Cook County Sheriff police helicopter.
It is located about 100 yards away from street, but was hidden by wild flowers. Police also found evidence of a camp, with a tarp, sleeping bag and even some orange soda and Cheetos, which suggests somebody may have been guarding the field.
Graney, who was flying overhead after a training exercise, said he spotted “five rows of plants, straight line configuration. It didn’t look normal for wild growth.â€
Lt. Michael Ryle, of the Chicago Police Narcotics Unit, said of the discovery: “This would be one of the biggest in recent years.â€
Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said the operators of the field likely would have sold the pot and used the cash to buy weapons, which fuels violent crime.
Police have not made any arrests but are using DNA testing and other investigative strategies to try to find the person who had been watching over the pot farm.
A city truck driver tells WBBM Newsradio he called police yesterday afternoon when he saw a man running from the area while the helicopter was overhead.
The Department of Streets and Sanitation cut down the plants on Wednesday morning, and the city’s Bomb and Arson Unit will be in charge of destroying them.

Find More Huge Marijuana Field Found On Chicago's South Side - CBS2 Chicago Issues Question by Rev Run: Do you think that the Dominican Republic can become a "high income country" by 2013? "High income countries" are defined by the World Bank as countries with a Gross National Income per capita of $ 11,116 or more. The per capita income as of 2006 was $ 8,400 and it's growing by 8% a year. I did the math and if it grows by only 5% a year they will reach high income status by 2013. Best answer for Do you think that the Dominican Republic can become a "high income country" by 2013?:
Answer by mighty_mind
No. It won't. I am not an Economist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express in 1999. Anyways, while the Dominican economy, with serious reversals sometimes, has kept growing in the last decades, we are way far from being a high income country. Corruption is still too extended for any serious reforms to take place.
Kiss my country ass- Rhett AkinsThe amount of people who hate country, but then still clicked on a video that is CLEARLY country, is hilarious. At the end of the day, this is still only YouTube. Nobody's opinions have changed because you dared to write a paragraph of how much you hate the country. You're wasting my time, and yours.
