The Josephine Marijuana Enforcement Team (JMET) raided an illegal cannabis growing site near Murphy yesterday.
On Thursday, JMET -- with assistance from Josephine County Public Health & Building Safety -- served a search warrant in the 3,000-block of Southside Road.
During execution of the warrant, more than 700 marijuana plants were seized and destroyed. The property also had multiple water and solid waste code violations, which could result in criminal forfeiture of the property.
According to JMET, the primary suspect was not at the location during the raid. If located, they will be charged with Unlawful Manufacture of Marijuana as well as Unlawful Appropriation of Water.
Detectives said the investigation is ongoing and no further details are being released at this time.
