Don’t worry people marijuana will soon be legalized!!! Honestly…why aren’t cops worrying about the killers and rapist out there!!?? Well until the Mary Jane is legalized I guess cops will continue to lock people up over the drug…In this case cops discovered 8,000 marijuana plants that would yield a street value of $8 million!!! They were getting money!! The DEA Strike Task Force pulled over a car in upstate Sullivan County that smelled of marijuana. Not sure how a car smelling of weed leads to cops finding $8 million worth of weed!?? Source
After receiving consent, they with the Sullivan County sheriff’s office and NYPD, searched seven houses and uncovered the 8,000 marijuana plants, sources told The Post.The Drug Enforcement Administration said the plants were found in seven fields in and around the town of Wurstboro.
Each plant yields about one pound-worth of weed for an estimated total of $8 million, the sources said.
Authorities said the marijuana was sold throughout the city and as far south as Philadelphia.
Police sources believe the 16 people arrested had been running the largest indoor marijuana growing operation in the New York-area.
Sullivan County is located just two hours north of the city.
The 16 suspects are expected to be arraigned in White Plains Federal Court sometime this afternoon.
All of those arrested were said to be illegal aliens, sources said.
Personnel from the Sullivan County Sheriff’s office and agents with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement also took part in the raids.
