The second grow operation, on the 600-block of Redwood Ave, contained 136 plants, which police also seized.

They estimate the drugs seized have a combined street value of $616,410.

Police searched the two residences last Tuesday after a lengthy investigation led them to the two addresses.

They also searched a third property but nothing was found, although there was evidence a grow operation had been in there in the past.

Three men between ages of 19 and 64 and a 53-year-old woman have been arrested and charged in connection to their alleged involvement.
