Denver police officers, some in hazmat suits, raided multiple marijuana-growing operations on Tuesday as part of an investigation into illegal marijuana sales in Minnesota, assisted by federal agents.[1]The officers hauled dozens of high-intensity grow lights and thousands of plants out of the operations, and a federal official said as much as $1 million was found in large bags during the searches.[1]Investigators believed the people involved came to Colorado from Minnesota, where marijuana stayed illegal outside a restrictive medical program.[1]
Six locations
Local reporting counted marijuana plants, money and cars seized at six locations throughout Denver.[2]The Denver Police Department tweeted only that the investigation involved illegal drug activity, while the DEA’s Denver group supervisor James Gothe called it a large and successful investigation.[2]The raids came eleven months after local and federal authorities had swept a dozen large marijuana businesses in Denver and Boulder.[1]
