13 ARRESTED AT MARIJUANA FARMS IN LANDERS AND LUCERNE VALLEY

Thirteen people were arrested at five locations during two days of marijuana raids in Landers and Lucerne Valley this week. On Monday, Sheriff’s deputies and investigators served two search warrants, including one in the 60200 block of Bearing Tree in Landers. There, narcotics detectives seized more than 1,000 marijuana plants and 100 pounds of processed marijuana, and arrested a man and a woman from Fresno, and two women from Moreno Valley. A Sheriff’s press release states that the marijuana grow was a large-scale, outdoor cultivation in an unsecured, fenced area that was not in compliance with California medical marijuana laws. Investigators also seized more than 900 marijuana plants and arrested six people at the 38000 block of Cuarto Street in Lucerne Valley. On Tuesday, investigators went to three more properties in Lucerne Valley, and arrested four more people (35500 Grandview Road, 34300 Agate Road, and 30500 Desert View Road). Seized in the raids were more than 1,100 marijuana plants, 17 pounds of processed marijuana, a semi-automatic handgun, and a bolt-action rifle. The release states that several of the people arrested had fake medical marijuana cards, so that the illegal marijuana grows would look legitimate.
