Over $100 million worth of marijuana discovered in Southern California drug bust
Authorities discovered over $100 million worth of marijuana during a massive drug bust in Southern California.
On Dec. 9, San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant for illegal marijuana cultivation at a residence on the 5000 block of Honeyhill Road in Oak Hills.
Located on the five-acre property was a newly built 120’ x 40’ metal building, authorities said.
Inside the metal building, investigators discovered over 3,000 trash bags filled with processed marijuana.
The piles were stacked over 12 feet high and lined the entire building. Each trash bag weighed between 30 to 50 pounds.
Over a two-day period, officials from the Marijuana Enforcement Team, San Bernardino County Code Enforcement, and California Fish and Wildlife Department seized 51 truckloads of marijuana from the stash house, which weighed over 90,000 pounds.
The marijuana had a market value of over $100 million, authorities said.
Details on who owns the building or any suspects involved in the suspected illegal growing operation were not released by investigators.
No arrests have been made yet as authorities continue investigating the case.
