State and local investigators earlier last week seized more than 36,000 illegally-grown marijuana plants at 10 sites hidden among legitimate crops on Sacramento County farmland in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The “cartel-related grow sites” were found are on private property, and the marijuana was grown without the knowledge or permission of the land owners, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office announced Friday.
Investigators believe these hidden marijuana growing sites are the work of drug cartels, and no arrests have been made in connection with this week’s seizures, Sheriff’s Office spokesman Sgt. Amar Gandhi said.
