Authorities say a tip led them to bust an illegal marijuana grow and the seizure of over 6,000 pot plants, 180 pounds of processed marijuana and $3 million in cash.
King County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Sgt. Cindi West said Wednesday that the tip from a citizen led investigators to a house in Newcastle, which sparked a five-month investigation.
West says detectives served search warrants at 27 locations in King County last week which resulted in five arrests on charges including manufacturing marijuana.
