PERRIS, Calif.—Riverside County sheriff’s deputies seized about 200 pounds of illegal cannabis from a house in the Perris area on Nov. 4.
Sgt. Jeremy Parsons, who led the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET), described the raid to The Epoch Times at the site as deputies hauled about 210 pounds of partially processed, illegally grown marijuana from the house.
If the black-market weed had been completely trimmed, processed, packaged, and ready to sell, he estimated the street value of $100,000 to $300,000 at $500 to $1,500 per pound depending on quality.
Deputies shouted repeatedly that they were at the house to serve a search warrant, but when no one answered, they entered and found about 200 marijuana plants….
