POSTED: 9:54 am EDT June 23, 2005
FAIRFIELD, Calif. -- Someone has lost a ton of pot.
Strange News PhotosInvestigators uncovered a marijuana farm with more than 23,000 plants in Solano County, sheriff's officials said.
Deputies said the pot was growing in a steep canyon area northwest of Vacaville. The plants were watered through a sophisticated irrigation system, with some pipes up to four miles long.
Investigators estimated the value of the marijuana crop could have been as high $117 million dollars. The illegal weed was destroyed.
Officials have not made any busts, but said they found some campsites apparently used by the pot growers.
