Calaveras County Busts Another Pot Farm

slide6Narcotics Investigators from the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office seized 27-hundred marijuana plants in an early morning raid near Mountain Ranch Thursday. The raid took place at West Muray Creek Rd. and Doster Rd. Investigators described the cultivation location as three different gardens that were 30 yards apart and connected by trails.
Investigators said the marijuana plants ranged in size from one foot to 5 feet tall. Calaveras Officials say the suspects had constructed a makeshift dam in a nearby creek using tarps. The suspects then used the makeshift dam as a water source for the marijuana plants. The suspects were not located at the grow site but Investigators found two tents and other items indicating the suspects had been living at that location. This latest seizure for Calaveras County law Enforcement bringing the total number of marijuana plants for the record setting season to 30-thousand plants.
