Monterey County sheriff’s deputies today reported seizing more than 300 marijuana plants from an indoor growing operation at a house in Prunedale.
The discovery was made Tuesday after deputies said they learned about the operation at a Chester Drive home and a search warrant was issued.
It is the third indoor marijuana operation discovered in Prunedale in the past month, the Monterey County Herald reports here.
The 303 marijuana plants seized Tuesday were growing in various stages in what deputies described as a sophisticated hydroponic system. The electricity meter to the home was bypassed, deputies said.
Jesse John Crow, 33, was being sought in connection to the raid, and he and faces charges of felony marijuana cultivation and grand theft, deputies said.
On Jan. 19, deputies seized about 340 marijuana plants and 35 pounds of processed marijuana from indoor operations in Prunedale. Four people were arrested.
