The Madison County Sheriff's Department -- acting on several tips -- has shut down an alleged meth lab on Seneca Turnpike just west of the Village of Canastota

Authorities say the investigation had been underway for the past three months.

Undercover investigators had the residence under surveillance late yesterday evening when they witnessed two small explosions in a back yard fire-pit of the residence.

Sheriff Allen Riley termed the lab to be "a substantial operation."

The investigation is continuing and additional information will be released Thursday morning.
