Over 600 mature marijuana
plants were seized last week
from 16 locations in Columbia
County, during four days of
marijuana eradication opera-
tions throughout the county.
The smallest seizure was four
plants; the largest site had over
four-hundred plants.
No arrests were made,
though one adult male was re-
ferred to the Columbia County
District Attorney’s office. Addi-
tionally, several leads and other
persons of interest are
being investigated in
connection with the out-
door marijuana opera-
tions.
Anyone
having infor-
ma-
tion
o
r
wish-
ing to surren-
der to authori-
ties
should
call 503-397-1167.
Though the mission is being
considered a huge success,
officials suggest-
ed that people
having reason to
be in the woods
should remain vigilant
to other undis-
covered mari-
juana growing
operations.
Anyone discovering what
they believe to be mari-
juana growing outdoors should
leave the area and contact their
local law enforcement agency.
The operation was conduct-
ed by investigators with the Co-
lumbia Enforcement Narcotics
Team (CENT) in cooperation
with the Oregon Army National
Guard, St. Helens Police De-
partment, Oregon State Police,
Columbia County Sheriffs Of-
fice, Scappoose Police Depart-
ment, and Clatskanie Police
Department.
