SUMMARY
On Wednesday, June 6th, beginning at approximately 7:15 A.M.,
investigators from the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department - Marijuana
Enforcement Team served five search warrants at residences in the unincorporated
community of Newberry Springs. All five locations had outdoor marijuana
cultivations on the property. Over 3,300 marijuana plants and 78 pounds
of processed marijauna were seized during the service of the search warrants.
Investigators do not believe the locations are linked together.
The investigation revealed the marijuana cultivations were not
in compliance with California's Medical and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and
Safety Act (MAUCRSA) and/or San Bernardino County's ordinance prohibiting
Commercial Cannabis Activity. San Bernardino County has an ordinance
prohibiting Commercial Cannabis Activity, which includes growing marijuana
plants outdoors. San Bernardino County Code Enforcement personnel will
assist in the notifications to the property owners to make them aware of the
violations occurring on their property.
Photograph taken at the 48200 block of Morgan Lane address.
The Sheriff's Gangs/Narcotics Division will continue to enforce
California's cannabis laws, as well as the San Bernardino County's ordinance
regarding cannabis cultivation and distribution. Persons found guilty
of violating the state law and county ordinance are subject to fines,
prosecution, and seizure of property.
Property owners who are growing marijuana, or are aware their
tenants are growing marijuana on their properties, in violation of the state law
and local ordinances may also be subject to civil or criminal sanctions.
Property owners are encouraged to contact their local law enforcement or code
compliance agency to confirm if cultivating cannabis is prohibited or allowed
under specific regulations.
