SUMMARY:
The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department - Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) and deputies from the Victorville Police Department served a search warrant at the location after developing information regarding illegal narcotic activity at a residence. Investigators found an illegal indoor marijuana grow inside with over 300 marijuana plants.
Deputy M. Suchomel was contacted by several concerned citizens regarding the activity at the residence. He began his investigation and contacted the Sheriff’s Narcotics Division for assistance. Deputies located the illegal marijuana grow but there was no one at the residence. Most of the rooms throughout the residence were used to grow the marijuana plants. The grow operation used advanced lighting, air conditioning, fans, exhaust blowers and an air-filtering system to control the climate inside the building.
California’s newest form of cannabis regulations, known as MAUCRSA, went into full effect on January 1st. The City of Victorville has an ordinance prohibiting Commercial Cannabis Activity which includes growing more than six marijuana plants at a residence. Additional information regarding what is allowed can be found in the Victorville Municipal Code in Chapter 13.150 – Commercial Cannabis Activity.
The suspects face criminal charges for the illegal Cultivation of Cannabis; over 6 plants. The report will be sent to the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution against the suspects.
