Mendocino County Sees Largest Seizure of Illegal Processed Pot

Authorities looking into reports of water theft along Henderson Drive in Clearlake Oaks made the discovery of an illegal marijuana grow and processing operation. Over 2300 plants and 7,600 pounds of processed marijuana, most packaged for sale were seized at an approximate value of $7 million dollars, the single largest seizure of processed marijuana to date in the county. Sheriff Brian Martin said illegal grow operations adversely impact the legal industry, negatively impact the environment and encourage criminal activity.
