Seattle police seize 3,000 pot plants from 14 houses

SEATTLE – Seattle police have seized more than 3,000 marijuana plants from 14 illegal grow houses.

KOMO-AM reported authorities had searched the houses Wednesday morning. They recovered 60 pounds of processed marijuana as well.

Police officers say they also arrested 15 people and seized guns and vehicles at the grow houses in Seattle, Renton and Federal Way.

The Seattle Police Department says investigators believe the grow operations are linked, but do not appear to be tied to the legal marijuana industry.
