VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — About 300 police officers and federal agents from 16 agencies raided 56 indoor marijuana growing operations Thursday in Clark County and arrested 43 people.
The Columbian reports (http://bit.ly/pg8rOI ) Operation Gang Green also netted about 6,800 marijuana plants.
Police say it was the result of a task force investigation that began in 2009, linking a marijuana growing ring to organized crime, money laundering and the hiding of proceeds from unlawful drug sales.
Many of those arrested are making court appearances Friday in Clark County Superior Court.
