An anonymous tip led police to a warehouse in West Englewood, where they found 7,000 pounds of marijuana. It wasn't a particularly difficult bust either. Police just showed up at the warehouse and spoke with the warehouse's owner, who allowed a search saying he "was not aware of any illegal activity."

The police took a peek inside and found $20 million worth of marijuana bundled and hidden amongst pallets of cilantro. Sneaky. Police don't know yet who it belonged to. No one is in custody.
