By Brandon Downs
About 300 pounds of processed marijuana was discovered by San Leandro police, leading to an arrest on Wednesday, authorities said.
Detectives responded to a home along Vistagrand Drive following a community tip regarding suspicious activity. Three people were contacted and police said probable cause led to them obtaining a search warrant.
When they searched the home, they discovered the 300 pounds of processed marijuana, which was packaged into one-pound bags, police said. They also found six pounds of suspected THCA, over half a pound of concentrated cannabis, scales, packaging material, money counting machines and over $10,000 in cash.
Police said they arrested 43-year-old Jianfeng Huang, the primary resident at the home, for unlicensed possession of marijuana for sale.
“In addition to being a nuisance and contributing to blight within a neighborhood, these illicit residential cultivation operations are often targeted by burglaries, robberies, or other violent crimes,” police said in a news release.
