According to a recent press release, the Michigan State Police Marijuana & Tobacco Investigation Section busted a large-scale illegal marijuana growing operation in Lake County.

Over 13,400 plants were seized during a warrant search earlier this week. The street value of the plants, along with hundreds of pounds of dried marijuana flowers found at the site, is estimated at approximately $10 million.

The marijuana was discovered in a large facility in Webber Township, measuring over 17,000 square feet. Neither the property nor the suspects involved had valid licenses for the operation.

Multiple individuals were arrested at the scene. Once the investigation is complete, it will be submitted to the Michigan Attorney General for further review.
