Jenny Lind, CA – A raid on a home in Jenny Lind netted nearly 1,300 plants and 70 pounds of processed pot and one arrest.
The search took place on Wednesday at a home in the 8000 blocks of Pardini Place. The entire residence and detached garage had been completely converted into several individual marijuana growing rooms, according to Calaveras County Sheriff’s Officials.
A total of 1,264 marijuana plants and 68.5 pounds of processed marijuana were seized.
