Clandestine DMT Laboratory Discovered by Brentwood Police During Robbery Investigation

BRENTWOOD, CA — What began as a standard response to a residential robbery call quickly escalated into a major drug bust when police officers stumbled upon an active clandestine laboratory manufacturing dimethyltryptamine (DMT) inside a Brentwood home.

According to details released by authorities and first reported by High Times, officers arrived at the scene following reports of a break-in or robbery attempt. Upon clearing the residence and ensuring the safety of the occupants, officers noticed chemical apparatuses, glassware, and raw materials commonly associated with the chemical extraction of DMT, a powerful psychedelic compound.

Hazardous material teams and specialized narcotics investigators were dispatched to the location to safely dismantle the lab and secure the hazardous substances. The discovery has raised concerns among local residents regarding the safety risks of chemical manufacturing operations in suburban neighborhoods. Police are continuing to investigate both the initial robbery report and the operations of the illegal drug laboratory.
