5,517 marijuana plants were eradicated from Feliciana Creek, 2,807 marijuana plants were eradicated from Sweet Water Creek and 4,127 marijuana plants were eradicated from Cranberry Gulch. Two firearms, a Glock handgun, loaded with hollow points, and a 12-gauge shotgun were collected from the grower's camp sites.

In all, a total of 12,451 marijuana plants were confiscated from the illegal and dangerous grow sites located on Public Land, both in the Sierra National Forest and the Stanislaus National Forest. This drug seizure equates to an estimated $37 million of marijuana.

Once in the gardens, the law enforcement contact and arrest raid teams were then complimented by DOJ CAMP teams to eradicate the marijuana and remove the many sling loads of cut marijuana to Highway 140 via helicopter.

As noted, local, state and federal agencies assisted with these investigations. The heat of the afternoon , combined with the steep and rocky terrain created a difficult environment to work in, however, nobody received major injuries during the two day operation.

These investigations are continuing.
