Approximately 130 marijuana plants were recovered Thursday during a raid on a Vancouver home.

The Clark-Skamania Drug Task Force seized the drugs during the execution of search warrant at 7009 N.E. 55th St., according to a news bulletin.

Benjamin D. Phipps, 29, and Malachi J. Morales, 29, were arrested on suspicion of manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver.

The plants were in various stages of growth, police said. “The value of these plants, in a full grown and cultivated state, is estimated at $195,000,” the release said.
