The Josephine Marijuana Enforcement Team (JMET) raided an illegal cannabis growing site near Cave Junction this week.
On Monday, JMET -- with assistance from federal agencies including the FBI, US Homeland Security, US Marshal Service, BLM and IRS -- served a search warrant in the 200-block of Dick George Road.
During execution of the warrant, six pounds of processed marijuana and more than 1,500 marijuana plants were seized and destroyed. A firearm was also seized in the search. The property had multiple electrical, water and solid waste code violations that could result in civil forfeiture of the property.
The primary suspects were not on scene during the time of the search. If located, they will be charged with Unlawful Manufacture of Marijuana and Unlawful Possession of Marijuana.
According to JMET, the investigation is ongoing and no further details about the incident are being released at this time.
