Tinley Park grow house

Police release video of a grow house they busted.

A family is accused of running a $1 million "designer marijuana" operation from their home in an unincorporated area near Tinley Park.

John Gecan, 52, his wife Darlene, 52, their son Christopher, 27, and another relative, James Osmolski, 22, were charged after police busted the pot growing operation in the 7,000-square-foot home in the 5300 block of West 175th Street, according to Cook County Sheriff's officials.

Inside the home, detectives found dozens of plants and a sophisticated marijuana cultivation operation. Police removed 97 plants, 2,960 grams of marijuana and $7,511 in cash

A "dummy wall" concealed several rooms where family members divided up the different stages of the cultivation process. The rooms were set up with insulation, automatic temperature control, dehumidifiers and an elaborate ventilation system with air filtration. Some of the plants were 6 feet tall officials said.

John and Christoper Gecan and Osmolski had bails set at $50,000 each, while Darlene Gecan had bail set at $25,000. All were charged with marijuana possession and with intent to deliver.

All posted the bails and were released, officials said.
