Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives say a search of a home in the foothills above Santa Barbara led to the discovery of a sophisticated and dangerous drug lab.
Six people were arrested at the home on the 5600 block of West Camino Cielo. Detectives say they found a butane honey oil lab, which uses a potentially explosive process to make a high end marijuana product.
Investigators with a special drug task force from Los Angeles had to be called in to safely dismantle the lab. More than 19 pounds of processed marijuana and 11 ounces of mushrooms were among the drugs seized.
