Suffolk, VA - Police in Suffolk have found marijuana growing at a local daycare.
Police were responding to a domestic dispute Friday at the daycare located on Snead Drive near Hill Point Road.
Police say a man in the daycare was acting strangely. The man showed officers two canisters containing marijuana saying he grew it himself.

The daycare had been operating for several months and watched over a handful of children.
A neighbor, who did not want to be named, said she would regularly walk by the daycare and never saw anything suspicious.
"I'd see her in the front yard playing with the all the kids. They seemed very happy and normal," she says.
The marijuana was found growing in the master bedroom upstairs in the home.
Over $400 worth of the drug was eventually seized by police.
Another neighbor, Danielle Whitehead says, "It's scary because you never know who you're leaving your kids with. You try to do the best you can to look into people or schools but you never know until you find out things like this."
Police have not released the names of the owners.
None of the children the daycare watched were home when the police took the drugs.
