Incident:
Indoor Marijuana Cultivation; Case #14-5789
Contact: Watch Commander – (626) 574-5156
Date / Time of
Release: December 4, 2014 – 6:00 PM
As
a result of the Arcadia Police Department’s, “See Something, Say Something”
program, an alert resident notified the Police Department of suspicious
activity surrounding a residence in the 400 block of East Wistaria Avenue. Arcadia Police Officers and Detectives
conducted an investigation. On Thursday,
December 4, 2014, at about 3:00 PM, Detectives obtained and served a search
warrant at the home for an illegal indoor marijuana cultivation.
Once
inside the residence, Arcadia Detectives searched the home and found the
majority of the residence being used as a sophisticated, indoor marijuana grow
operation. Approximately 250 mature
marijuana plants were being grown in bedrooms and in a converted garage. The grow consisted of multiple rooms with
lighting, ventilation, electrical wiring, irrigation and drying bins strewn
throughout the residence. It appeared
the electrical set-up was bypassing the meter and also tapping directly into
electrical service. There was no
evidence of this being a medical marijuana related grow and nobody was located
inside the dwelling.
This
case is currently being investigated by Detectives from the Arcadia Police
Department. Anyone with
information on this incident is encouraged to contact the Arcadia Police Department
at (626) 574-5151, case #14-5789. If you prefer to provide information
ANONYMOUSLY, you may call “Crime Stoppers” by dialing 800-222-TIPS (8477),
texting the letters TIPLA plus your tip to CRIMES (274637), or using the tip
web page at Los
Angeles Regional Crime Stoppers.
