Authorities: Between $25 and $60 million in pot seized

According to the U.S. Attorney General Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the county-wide marijuana raids that started Tuesday have so far led to the seizure of between $25 and $60 million worth of marijuana.
Around 7 a.m. Tuesday approximately 450 local, state, and federal law enforcement personnel executed 29 search warrants in Humboldt and Mendocino counties. The warrants stemmed from a nearly two-year investigation targeting a large commercial marijuana cultivation and distribution organization.
Law enforcement officers raided grow houses and residences in Shelter Cove, Whitethorn, Redway, Ettersburg, Garberville, Miranda, Phillipsville, Arcata and McKinleyville. They also secured and are searching almost 2,000 acres in southern Humboldt County and northern Mendocino County belonging to the targets of the investigation.
