(CBS) DIAMOND BAR, Calif. Two men were arrested in connection with the discovery of the fourth home-based marijuana growing operation in Diamond Bar in the past month, authorities said Friday.
The suspects were identified as Ze Ning Peng, 41, and Ze Lin Peng, 49, said Sgt. Duane Allen of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
A search warrant was served at a home on the 1100 block of Seneca Place at 5 p.m. Wednesday, then detectives seized 1,533 marijuana plants with an estimated street value of up to $6,000 each, Castro said.
According to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune, investigators found the two suspects dismantling a marijuana farm inside the four-bedroom home when deputies served the search warrant, and arrested them on suspicion of cultivation of marijuana and theft of electricity.
The entire house was being used as an indoor marijuana cultivation site, Castro said.
Los Angeles County Sheriffs deputies discovered marijuana growing operations in three other homes in Diamond Bar on March 21, March 28 and Monday; four in Rowland Heights and one in Rosemead. Pomona police discovered a similar operation in that city on April 1.
