In what amounts to one of the largest drug recoveries in recent history, a search warrant executed by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department has unearthed an astronomical amount of illegal marijuana. According to KTLA, the haul is valued at over $100 million and consisted of about 90,000 pounds of the drug. The stash was found in a large metal building located on a five-acre property in Oak Hills, upon which the search warrant was served early in the morning on December 9.
Served at approximately 7:00 a.m., the deputies discovered thousands of trash bags, with each being filled with 30 to 50 pounds of processed marijuana, as reported by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. Over two days, the gathered 51 truckloads amounted to rows of bags that were lining the metal building, stacked over 12 feet high. The sheer scale of the operation necessitated involvement not just from the local sheriff's Marijuana Enforcement Team, but also from San Bernardino County Code Enforcement and the California Fish and Wildlife Department, marking a concerted effort among several agencies.
Investigative efforts continue as authorities expend considerable resources to understand the depth and reach of this operation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Marijuana Enforcement Team, as indicated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. The case number is 652400803, and the team's direct line is (909) 387-8400 for those who might provide insights that could assist in the ongoing case.
