WEEK #14: Between November 29 and December 5, 2021__
San Bernardino County Sheriff Investigators - Marijuana
Enforcement Team (MET), and
Sheriff Deputies from several County Patrol Stations, served 22 search warrants
at various locations in Lucerne Valley, Helendale, Johnson Valley, Hinkley, El
Mirage, Rancho Cucamonga, El Monte, and San Gabriel. MET personnel had
received numerous complaints about large outdoor and indoor marijuana
cultivations in these areas. During Week #14, San Bernardino County Sheriff MET personnel
located and arrested 21 suspects. Investigators seized 19,117 marijuana
plants, 10,844 pounds of processed marijuana, nine guns, and over $99,000.00 in
cash. A total of 312 greenhouses were eradicated from these locations and four
indoor grow locations. Investigators mitigated one electrical bypass and
one THC extraction lab.
The investigations
revealed the cannabis cultivations were not in compliance with California's
Medical and Adult-Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA) and San
Bernardino County's ordinance prohibiting Commercial Cannabis Activity.
San Bernardino County has a law prohibiting Commercial Cannabis Activity,
including growing marijuana plants outdoors.
The SBC Sheriff Gangs/Narcotics Division will continue to
enforce California's cannabis laws and San Bernardino County's ordinance
regarding cannabis cultivation and distribution. Persons found guilty of
violating the state law and county ordinance are subject to fines, prosecution,
and seizure of property.
Property owners who are growing marijuana or are aware their
tenants are growing marijuana on their properties in violation of the state law
and local ordinances may also be subject to civil or criminal sanctions.
Property owners are encouraged to contact their local law enforcement or code
compliance agency to confirm if cultivating cannabis is prohibited or allowed
under specific regulations.
The suspects were cited or booked on charges of
Cultivation of Cannabis, over six plants, Possession for Sales of Marijuana,
Illegal Water Discharge, and Conspiracy.
Anyone with information regarding this
investigation is urged to contact the Sheriff's Gangs/Narcotics Division at
