Cops Seize $1billion In Marijuana But Is Fraction Of Illegal Business

The largest illegal marijuana bust in Los Angeles County history eradicated only a fraction of the illicit grows in the Southern California high desert, authorities said Wednesday. The bust netted 373,000 plants that would ultimately have been worth $1 billion on the street. The problem is wide-ranging in the Antelope Valley north of Los Angeles, officials said, and has grown tremendously during the coronavirus pandemic. Armed cartel members run massive illegal grows, some spanning dozens of greenhouses, that are detrimental to the state's legal marijuana market. During the bust, authorities also seized dozens of weapons, amid killings and violent incidents linked to the illegal farms, and vehicles, including several water trucks.
