"During the course of the investigation, Detectives identified a
third residence believed to be connected to the cultivation of marijuana. Surveillance
was conducted and a male subject was detained after he fled the residence in a
vehicle. A search warrant was obtained and served at
the residence in the 2700 Block of Gilpin Way, which revealed the residence was
in fact being used for indoor marijuana cultivation. As a result, Tong Wang, a 28-year-old male
Asian from Arcadia was arrested and booked at the Arcadia City Jail on felony
charges of cultivation of marijuana with bail of $50,000.00.
All three locations were found to contain indoor marijuana grow
operations with lighting, ventilation, and electrical wiring run throughout. It appeared the electrical set-up was
bypassing the meters and also tapping directly into the electrical service at
each location. Approximately 750 marijuana plants were found in various stages
of growth throughout the Baldwin location, approximately 922 marijuana plants
at the Woodruff location, and approximately 280 marijuana plants were located
and recovered at the Gilpin Way address.
No evidence was found at any of the locations to indicate a medical
marijuana grow operation. The
investigation is continuing as to property ownership, utility theft, and
possible child endangerment."
