Moorpark residents eyed in pot lab home blast

Three Moorpark residents were under investigation Friday after an explosion and fire at a home led authorities to discover an illegal marijuana extraction lab.

Residents at the home in the 4200 block of Cedarpine Lane were manufacturing honey oil, a potent resin extracted from pot plants, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.

Most of the home was damaged in the Thursday fire, which also seriously burned Travis Seymour and Matthew Anderson, both 34, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office.

They were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

Seymour's 3-year-old child and wife, Lindsey Seymour, 32, were also home at the time of the blast, but were uninjured.

The Seymours, who lived at the home, and Anderson, who was a guest, are suspected of producing the oil for sale, according to authorities.

No arrests were made as the investigation was still underway, according to Capt. Mike Aranda.

Child Protective Services was called, but the child was still with the family pending the outcome of the investigation, Aranda said.

Local and federal narcotics investigators were working to process the lab.
