Sheriff's team destroys thousands of cannabis plants in Alderpoint raid
Deputies raided a Ware Ranch Road grow in Alderpoint and destroyed more than 3,000 plants and 2,300 pounds of cannabis.
On July 16, deputies with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Marijuana Enforcement Team served a search warrant in the 200 block of Ware Ranch Road in Alderpoint and destroyed more than 3,000 growing cannabis plants and 2,300 pounds of weed. The operation targeted an illegal cultivation site in one of the county’s long-running enforcement hot spots.
The California Department of Fish & Wildlife and the California Highway Patrol assisted in the raid. In Humboldt County, multi-agency responses reflect concerns about land use, road access, water diversion, habitat damage, and neighborhood nuisance at grows that do not operate under the rules applied to permitted farms.
The sheriff’s office has repeatedly returned to the Alderpoint and Rancho Sequoia area in recent years. On June 4, 2020, deputies served four search warrants in the Alderpoint/Rancho Sequoia area, and on May 6, 2021, MET served multiple search warrants in the Rancho Sequoia and Dobbyn Creek areas.
The county’s available release did not list arrests or additional suspect details from the Ware Ranch Road warrant.
