200 Pot Plants Confiscated

State Police in Chautauqua County have confiscated more than 200 marijuana plants worth more than $400,000 dollars. Police say the eradication effort is the result of several investigations this year and includes tips provided by area residents. Police explained that although they found the plants, making a case against someone is complicated because they're usually grown in remote areas without the landowners' knowledge. The state Department of Environmental Conservation, state Forest Rangers, State Police Community Narcotics Enforcement Team, Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force, Chautauqua County Sheriff's Department, Town Of Ellicott Police Department and the Lakewood/Busti Police Department were also involved in the investigation. Troopers say the New York State Police Aviation Unit and the New York State Mobile Response Team supported their efforts.
