SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) - Thousands of marijuana
plants were uprooted in the Santa Cruz Mountains in
one of the sheriff's biggest pot busts this year.
Deputies discovered 6,800 plants terraced into a steep
hillside near the Soquel Demonstration Forest, Sgt.
Steve Carney said. So far this year, the department
has confiscated more than 14,000 marijuana plants.
Last year, 14,500 plants were confiscated.
A tip led deputies to the site last week. There were
no arrests, but deputies found two camps stocked with
food, Carney said.
Earlier in the week, about 650 pot plants were
discovered off of Highway 35 in Castle Rock State Park.
