Truckee cops confiscate 30 pounds of pot

Thirty pounds of marijuana with an estimated street value of $75,000 was found at a Truckee residence on Friday.

Truckee officers were investigating a suspicious subject in the Sierra Meadows neighborhood on Nov. 9 when they contacted an individual at his residence and discovered approximately 30 pounds of processed marijuana and an active marijuana grow.

Police have not released the name of the individual who was arrested because other potential subjects are under investigation.

Officers said they found processed marijuana packaged for sale in half pound and pound quantities.
