More Than 500 Pot Plants Found In Raid

Burson, CA -- Marijuana, weapons and child pornography were all found during a raid on a home in Burson this Wednesday morning.

Calaveras County Sheriff's Department Lieutenant Jim Macedo says three men with ties to southern California have been arrested for the elaborate commercial marijuana grow.

In addition to the more than 500 marijuana plants, deputies found firearms, and what seems to be child pornography on a computer inside the home.

Two of the white male suspects are father and son. The third suspect is a black male. They were all booked into Calaveras County Jail.
