The LAPD remarked on Instagram that criminals 'are getting more creative by the day'
Los Angeles police officers made a curious discovery when they busted a drug lab that was disguised as a pizzeria last week.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said the North Hollywood lab was located in the 7300 block of Radford Avenue, according to FOX 11 Los Angeles. The lab was situated next to an animal hospital.
Officials described the scene as a "super lab" where illegal THC concentrate was produced. Pictures posted by the LAPD on Friday show vats that were used to make cannabis honey oil.

"This is giving Breaking Bad vibes," one Instagram comment read.
