"The search warrant culminated in the recovery of around 300 pounds of processed marijuana packaged in 1-pound bags, around six pounds of suspected tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, which is used in the converting process, over half a pound of concentrated cannabis (hashish), scales, packaging material, money counting machines, and over $10,000 in cash, police said. Police did not say if the marijuana was being sold out of the home or being delivered elsewhere."
"The primary resident of the home, a 43-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of unlicensed possession of marijuana for sale. He was later cited out of Santa Rita Jail. Police said in the release that While the use, cultivation, and sale of marijuana have been legalized in California, unlicensed large-scale cultivation and sales operations are still illegal. In addition to being a nuisance and contributing to blight within a neighborhood, these illicit residential cultivation operations are often targeted by burglaries, robberies, or other violent crimes."
About 300 pounds of processed marijuana in 1-pound bags, roughly six pounds of tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, over half a pound of hashish, scales, packaging materials, money-counting machines, and more than $10,000 in cash were seized. Detectives obtained a search warrant for a home in the 1200 block of Vistagrand Drive after a community tip and contacts with a resident and two other subjects. A 43-year-old primary resident was arrested on suspicion of unlicensed possession of marijuana for sale and later cited out of Santa Rita Jail. Unlicensed large-scale cultivation and sales remain illegal and can create nuisances, blight, and higher risk of burglaries, robberies, or other violent crimes.
