Authorities Investigating Burglaries of Marijuana Operations in Southern Oregon

Authorities are investigating multiple burglaries of marijuana farms and storage facilities in Jackson and Josephine counties.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office reports the suspects are targeting licensed marijuana farms during the nighttime hours and they are possibly armed.

Owners and workers of these facilities should be alert for these types of crimes and report any unusual activity. Perimeter fences and surveillance cameras should be checked to be sure they are intact and operational.

Jackson County Public Information Officer Aaron Lewis said these cases are active and ongoing, with detectives following additional leads.

Anyone with information on these burglaries or anyone who has not yet reported a previous burglary crime at a local marijuana facility is encouraged to call the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center at (541)-776-7206 and ask to speak with a deputy.
