Cop Busted For Huge Cannabis Grow Operation In California City That’s Bursting With Illicit Weed
An illegal cannabis grow site was uncovered in a home owned by an Oakland police officer, reported CNN.
What Happened
This past April, California’s Department of Cannabis Control carried out search warrants at several upscale homes in Antioch, a suburb of San Francisco.
The investigators, who police the legal sale of marijuana statewide, first removed 80 pounds of weed from the pricey two-story home belonging to Samson Liu, a police officer in Oakland. The 2,800-square-foot, four-bedroom home had been modified to function as a cannabis cultivation site with a generator and extensive ventilation.
The move was part of a series of coordinated raids across the block that ultimately led to the confiscation of a total of roughly $1 million worth of illicit marijuana on the same day.
