Police in San Diego raid four homes in Pacific Beach suspected as pot growing hub
July 14, 2010 | 6:40 pm
Law enforcement agents in San Diego raided four homes in the Pacific Beach neighborhood Wednesday, arresting four suspected marijuana growers and seizing 400 plants and $30,000 in cash, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency said.
The early-morning raids by a multi-agency task force resulted in the seizure of a quantity of methamphetamine, illegal fireworks, a shotgun, a handgun, ammunition, and psychedelic mushrooms, the DEA said. The arrests were made without resistance.
While raids on pot-growing sites are not unusual, most such sites are in rural areas, officials said. The presence of four homes in proximity was also unusual.
Arrested were Gregory Michael Goodwin, 38; Van Carter, 49; Ian McDonald, 31, and Guillermo Javier Perez, 46, all of San Diego.
The arrests come less than a week after 12 people were indicted by a federal grand jury in San Diego for marijuana sales in an apparently unrelated case.
