Police seized 60 marijuana plants from a residence in Van Buren County on Friday.
GENEVA TOWNSHIP, MI – Police seized 60 marijuana plants from a residence in Van Buren County on Friday.
Police conducted an investigation on a subject manufacturing marijuana in the 66000 block of M-43. Detectives noticed a large black tarp in the back yard, concealing what was believed to be a marijuana grow, according to a news release from the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office.
Police obtained a search warrant after a Michigan State Police helicopter flew over the area and observed a large marijuana grow surrounded by chicken wire. Police seized 60 marijuana plants. The caretaker of the plants possessed medical marijuana cards, but didn't have all the required paperwork for the number of plants he possessed, according to the release.
A 48-year-old man and a 42-year-old man, both from Bangor, were not arrested, but charges for manufacturing of marijuana will be sought at a later date, according to the release.
The incident remains under investigation. Once completed, the report will be forwarded to the Van Buren County Prosecutor's Office for review and requesting charges against the men.
Police ask anyone with information to call the Van Buren County Sheriff's Office at 269-657-3101, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-342-7867 or Silent Observer at 269-343-2100.
