The marijuana growing operation owned and operated by maraschino cherry tycoon Arthur Mondella was one of the largest in New York City history, according to police.
Authorities raided the Dell’s Maraschino Cherries warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn, earlier this week after police received a tip that there was a marijuana-growing operation in the factory’s basement.

Mondella’s father and grandfather established the cherry company in 1948. It was a supplier of maraschino cherries to national chain restaurants.
