36 people were arrested, and 17 illegal marijuana grow operations countywide were shut down, including one in Twentynine Palms, and two in Wonder Valley, during the twenty-second week of illegal marijuana grow raids. According to Sheriff’s reports, deputies and investigators from the San Bernardino County Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) served 17 search warrants at properties in Apple Valley, Wonder Valley, Twentynine Palms, Hinkley, El Mirage, Walnut, Hinkley, Adelanto, West Covina, Hesperia, Alhambra, and Chino Hills from January 24 through January 30 as part of Operation Hammer Strike, week twenty-two. During this time, investigators arrested 36 suspects and eradicated 256 greenhouses, as well as a THC extraction lab. Deputies seized 52,715 marijuana plants, 3,575.5 pounds of processed marijuana, 10 guns, and over $51,000 in cash. Investigators also mitigated one electrical bypass.
The raids came as a result of numerous complaints received regarding large outdoor marijuana cultivations in the areas.
