The California City Police Department said they have raided another home with an illegal marijuana grow inside.
Police said just after 4:00 p.m. Friday they raided a home at the corner of Medio Street and Redwood Boulevard.
Officers received information earlier in the day that allowed officers to obtain a search warrant at the home.
Officials said the home is a rental property and during their search they found more than 700 marijuana plants, extensive damage. Officials estimate damage to the home at over $30,000.00
Building inspectors assisted in the investigation when police discovered that the tenants had bypassed an electrical meter and hung extension cords from the ceilings to power an extensive grow lighting array in the bedrooms, garage and kitchen.
