A raid of an armed camp in Van Buren County turned up 14,860 “well-tended” marijuana plants, according to Michigan State Police.


According to a news release issued today, this happened last Tuesday in what police call a “secluded area” of Covert Township.


The Southwest Enforcement Team was working on a tip when they say they found the camp being tended by two armed, Hispanic males. The two ran off and were chased by officers with dogs.


The K9s tracked the suspects several miles to a location off County Road 376 at 196, say police. That’s where they might have been transported out of the area by accomplices.


Beside the pot plants, police also found long guns dropped by the suspects. They say the camp showed signs of being a “long-term encampment.”

Knee jerk reation T? How did they ever surmise they were hispanic? Maybe they determined the "well tended" plants could only have been done by Hispanics? After all they also do the gardens at Metro Airport, Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island... 

 

hispanic sure know how too grow and take care of their garden

Police K-9 units tracked the two suspects for several miles to an area off County Road 376.

Back at the grow operation, officers found 14,860 well-tended marijuana plants, a long term encampment and two long guns.

If you saw anyone being picked up from County Road 376 at 196 in Van Buren County on August 2, contact the Southwest Enforcement Team at 269-982-8664 and leave a message.

 

I guess the count was misleading 

The Southwest Enforcement Team is supervised by the Michigan State Police and is made up of MSP detectives and detectives from the following agencies: the South Haven Police Department, the Berrien County Sheriff’s Department, The Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Department, the Kalamazoo Township Police Department, the Marshall Police Department and the Barry County Sheriff’s Department.
