WATCH: Teller County deputies bust illegal marijuana grow operations

Teller County Sheriff’s Office deputies conducted three raids on illegal marijuana grow operations Wednesday and seized more than a million dollars’ worth of pot.

KRDO was with the deputies as they conducted the raids. It’s part of the county’s initiative to crackdown on illegal grows.

The busts happened in rural Teller County, near Divide, and in Woodland Park.

Officers said they seized more than 80 pounds of processed marijuana packaged for shipping, a little over a hundred plants, and marijuana concentrate. Police say they believe the grow operations were connected and part of a larger organization to ship marijuana outside of Colorado.

Six people are in custody. Their identities haven’t been released at this time.
