San Leandro, CA – The San Leandro Police Department has recovered a large quantity of packaged marijuana and arrested one suspect during an investigation into an illegal marijuana cultivation and sales operation.
On February 11, 2026, detectives from the Crime Suppression and Property Crimes Unit responded to a residence in the 1200 block of Vistagrand Drive to follow up on a community tip regarding suspicious activities observed. Detectives contacted a resident and two other subjects associated with the home. During the investigation, probable cause was developed to obtain a search warrant for the premise.
The search warrant execution culminated in the recovery of around 300 pounds of processed marijuana packaged in 1-pound bags, around 6 pounds of suspected THCA, over half a pound of concentrated cannabis (hashish), scales, packaging material, money counting machines, and over $10,000 in cash.
The primary resident of the home, 43-year-old Jianfeng Huang, was placed under arrest for unlicensed possession of marijuana for sale.
While the use, cultivation, and sale of marijuana have been legalized in California, unlicensed large-scale cultivation and sales operations are still illegal. In addition to being a nuisance and contributing to blight within a neighborhood, these illicit residential cultivation operations are often targeted by burglaries, robberies, or other violent crimes.
