MORE POT SEIZED More than 10,000 fully mature marijuana plants were eradicated by law enforcement officers Thursday in Sequoia National Forest on the Tule River Ranger District south of Camp Nelson. The street value was estimated at $41 million. Officers located the crop during an aerial reconnaissance of the area, the U.S. Forest Service reported. When officers arrived on the scene the following day, more than half of the plants had already been harvested, according to the forest service. A search of the area turned up most of the missing plants hidden in the surrounding forest. Also located near the scene was a three-story bunkhouse with processing supplies and accommodations for at least 10 people. No suspects were found during the raid.
