INCIDENT: CULTIVATION OF MARIJUANA
SUSPECT(S): Tony Deveyra, 28 years old, resident of Apple Valley
Carolina Vaquerano, 26 years old, resident of Upland

SUMMARY:
A concerned citizen reported what they believed to be illegal dumping occurring near the West Fork of the Mojave River/ Cedar Springs Creek in Hesperia. Upon investigation by Deputies Rob Oakleaf and Randy Stanley of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Departments Rural Crimes Task Force, it was discovered large amounts of fertilizer were being delivered to the location for use in an outdoor marijuana grow.
On Monday, June 19, 2017 at 6:33 a.m., Deputies Oakleaf and Stanley, along with detectives from the Victor Valley Station and the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Departments Marijuana Enforcement Team, served a Search Warrant in the 15000 block of Highway 173 in Hesperia. During the service of the warrant approximately 2600 marijuana plants were seized from the location. The growing operation which utilized various fertilizers, artificial plant supplements and chemicals was dangerously close to the nearby river. The river was also being used as a water source for the growing operation. Officers from the Department of Fish and Wildlife responded to assist with the investigation. Due to concerns for the water source, deputies and City of Hesperia workers cleared the immediate area of the fertilizers and chemicals.
All three subjects working in the marijuana grow, Tony Deveyra, Carolina Vaquerano and Alexis Takahashi, were arrested for Cultivation of Marijuana and booked at the High Desert Detention Center.
Anyone with information regarding this crime is urged to contact Deputy Rob Oakleaf or Deputy Randy Stanley at the Victor Valley Sheriff’s Station, (760) 552-6801.
