AGENTS IN CALIFORNIA SEIZE $2.6 BILLION IN POT PLANTS
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Agents have seized 742,684 plants with an
estimated street value of more than $2.6 billion, already surpassing
last year's season total by 20 percent, authorities said.
The state Department of Justice's annual Campaign Against Marijuana
Planting, or CAMP, is still a month away from wrapping up operations
The raids, many in remote, forested terrain, pit agents against often
heavily armed guards protecting their marijuana plots.
About three weeks ago, a grower was shot dead and a state Fish and
Game warden was wounded during a raid on a 22,000-plant pot farm in
the hills above Los Gatos.
