Tampa, Florida - Tampa police have seized 66 marijuana plants found growing in an underground bunker previously used to store ammunition for the Army.

The bunker is located at 4107 N. Manhattan Avenue near the Tampa International Airport.

Detectives say they received a tip that the marijuana was being grown in the 2,000 square foot bunker. The suspects were also stealing power from TECO to provide electricity to the bunker.

Police have charged a Cuban national, 37-year-old Gustavo Gonzalez, with possession and manufacturing of cannabis, including another charge of grand theft for the electricity.
