On November 14, 2019, deputies served a search warrant in the 35000 block of Fredrick Street. Approximately 900 marijuana plants in various stages of growth were located and collected. In addition, the electrical system within the residence was illegally altered causing a severe fire hazard and theft of utilities. The estimated theft of utilities for the last six months was valued by Edison at approximately $30,000. The entire residence was turned into an illegal marijuana cultivation. There was no one located at the residence.
