Crestline, CA -San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant at the Woodland Healing Center in Crestline and confiscated 850 marijuana plants, three pounds of marijuana products and red tagged the building. The street value of the plants is up to $2 million.
Captain Rick Ells of the Twin Peaks Station told ROTWNEWS the Sheriff’s Department’s Marijuana Eradication Team (MET) served the search warrant, confiscated the plants and products and called in Code Enforcement to check for code violations.
“Eventually,” Captain Ells reported, “Southern California Edison was called in to assist with the inspection of the building and due to the number of violations Code Enforcement red tagged the building after determining it was uninhabitable.”
