Fire Department called to shut down multiple power meters due to hazard
EUREKA -- Eureka police officers investigating a commercial marijuana growing operation took about 800 plants from three apartments at 1026 Pine St. last Wednesday morning.
Officers serving a search warrant found plants ranging in height from six inches to three feet. There were indications more marijuana had recently been harvested.
Eureka Fire Dept.’s fire marshall and PG&E personnel were called to turn off all three apartment’s power meters because haphazard growing techniques were creating a fire hazard.
Two people at the apartments when police arrived were released. The case is still under investigation.
