3 suspects & over 1.5 million dollars-worth of marijuana was seized by Industry Sheriff's Station deputies during an arrest warrant operation.
On Thursday, June 06, 2013, Special Assignment Deputies from Industry Sheriff's Station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, accompanied by detectives from Major Crimes U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, arrested three individuals for cultivation of marijuana for sales.
Deputies also recovered 417 marijuana plants in various stages of growth worth over $1.5 million dollars, and $100,000.00 worth of hydroponic equipment which was being used to cultivate the plants.
The incident began with deputies conducting surveillance on the 16400 block of Quarter Horse Road, Moreno Valley.
Deputies, acting on information they received, were attempting to apprehend a parolee at large for cultivation for sales of marijuana out of Industry Sheriff's Station patrol area.
As Deputies conducted their surveillance operation, they saw the suspect, Luc An, 43, exiting a residence on Quarter Horse Road accompanied by two other men.
Deputies contacted and arrested Suspect Luc An, for a parole violation and cultivation for sales of marijuana. After confirming he lived at the residence on Quarter Horse Road, deputies conducted a search of the residence and discovered the home concealed a large marijuana grow operation.
During the search of the home and their investigation, deputies recovered 417 marijuana plants as well as numerous ultra violet lights and water pumps used during the indoor grow operation. Deputies also developed information which led to the arrest of two additional suspects; Eddie Tran, 21, and Johnny Yuen, 22, both from the San Gabriel Valley.
All three suspects were transported to Industry Sheriff’s Station (http://www.Industry.lasd.org) where Suspect Yeun and Suspect Tran are being held on 50,000 dollars bail, while Suspect An is being held without bail.
