About 75,000 marijuana plants were seized and 11 suspects were arrested by authorities in Southern California during an investigation into illegal grows in Los Padres National Forest.
The Ventura County sheriff's office said in a statement Monday that the quantities represent a “significant increase" compared to previous eradication efforts, the Ventura County Star reported.
The agency conducted 18 investigations between May and October in and around national forest land that netted 74,600 marijuana plants, 1,500 pounds (680 kilograms) of harvested marijuana and 84 firearms at multiple sites.
Officials said
the illegally grown marijuana is often sold on the black market at high
profit.
