Oakland County Deputies Stop Break-In At Clawson Marijuana Grow Facility


Recommended Posts

CLAWSON, MI -- The passage of Michigan's Medical Marijuana Act in 2008 has produced some scenarios that would have previously been unthinkable. 

About 11:30 p.m. Sunday, a marijuana grower called police for help.

The owner of a building on the 3300 block of Haggerty in Clawson contacted 911 to say someone was breaking into the building he owned and used to grow marijuana. The owner is a certified medical marijuana caretaker. He observed the break-in on a video monitor from his home. 

Oakland County sheriff's deputies responded.

"Deputies arrived on scene and observed a van with no license plate backed up to a garage door," Oakland County officials said in a statement. "A hole has been cut into the garage door. The van was blocked in by an employee whom the owner had called prior to calling 911."

Deputies set up a perimeter but failed to locate a suspect but found a discarded black garbage back filled with marijuana plants and impounded the van.

Investigators didn't reveal how they located the suspect but say a 33-year-old man from Sterling Heights, believed to have committed the crime, was arrested by Keego Harbor and West Bloomfield Township police about 3 a.m. Monday.

The suspect is currently jailed pending charges.
