9 arrested, $7M in marijuana seized in NE Georgia
10122017 MARIJUANA 1
More than $7,168,900 worth of marijuana was seized as six marijuana grow operations were shut down in 2017 by the Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad.
Law enforcement shut down six indoor grow operations across Northeast Georgia and seized more than $7 million in marijuana, according to authorities. “Operations such as this are proof that large-scale drug networks are not just operating in Hall County, but are invading our quiet neighborhoods,” Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch said in a statement. “Among our biggest concerns in these types of cases is the fact that they occur in normal, residential neighborhoods and have the potential to bring violent crimes with them. I will continue to support multijurisdictional, interagency efforts such as this in order to make sure that our neighborhoods remain safe for our citizens to live in and raise their families.”
