(CBS) DIAMOND BAR, Calif. Detectives seized 1,868 marijuana plants worth an estimated $10 million on the street from an upscale Diamond Bar home, the second such raid in the city in a week. Video here.
The plants were discovered about noon in the residence in the 500 block of Crooked Arrow Drive, where detectives served a search warrant as part of an investigation, sheriff's Sgt. Don Manumaleuna said.
No one was home at the time. No arrests have been made yet, Manumaleuna said.
"Detectives believe that because of the amount of plants, that this location could possibly be part of a larger-scale operation taking place in other affluent neighborhoods in Southern California," Manumaleuna said.
Last Wednesday, sheriff's narcotics officers raided another home in Diamond Bar and confiscated an estimated $12.5 million worth of marijuana.
A search warrant was served on the seven-bedroom residence in the 1500 block of Eldertree Drive, where investigators seized about 2,100 plants and arrested a man. That home was also equipped to produce high-quality marijuana plants.
Ten raids have been conducted recently by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration in Northern California at homes in upscale suburbs like Diamond Bar, authorities said.
