(FOX40.COM) — Two Northern California law enforcement agencies recently worked together to bust an illegal marijuana clone nursery that was worth nearly $10M.

Around 8:30 a.m. on Monday, the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office and Yuba County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant in the 1400 block of West Forty Road in Railroad Flat. Deputies said they found a sophisticated and extensive illegal marijuana operation used to produce young plants for distribution to other cultivation sites.
