SEATTLE (AP) – The King County Sheriff’s Office said it found more than six-thousand pot plants, 180 pounds of processed marijuana and three-million-dollars in cash.
Detectives served search warrants at 27 locations and arrested five people last week, Sergeant Cindi West said Wednesday.
A tip from a citizen led investigators to a house in Newcastle, just southeast of Seattle, which sparked a five-month investigation.
Deputies also seized five houses investigators believe were bought with pot money, West said.
