Calaveras Sheriff’s Department Announces Another Marijuana Garden Eradicated
Another marijuana garden bust for the Calaveras
County Sheriff’s Department was announced yesterday when Calaveras County Sheriff's deputies
destroyed 3,000 more marijuana plants on a hillside near Mokelumne Hill.
The grow has all the trademark
appearances of a Mexican Drug Trafficking organization garden. So far this year, Calaveras
deputies have eradicated 26,000 marijuana plants, a record for the county. Last
year, 20,000 were seized. There were no arrests and no weapons seized at the
Moke Hill site but Deputies did spot one person fleeing the scene as they
approached. The investigation is ongoing.(
