From Times Staff and Wire Reports
More than 35,000 pot plants have been seized on federal land north of Redding, authorities said. The marijuana grove, in a remote and rugged area, was spotted last week during a reconnaissance flight, Shasta County Sheriff’s Lt. Tim McDonald said.
The seizure was nearly equal to half the number of plants confiscated during the eradication season last year, when authorities seized 73,655 marijuana plants.
No one has been arrested.
