Santa barbara County Sheriff's Office investigators say raids on locations in Grover Beach and the Los Alamos area have led to the discovery of hundreds of thousands of plants.

Detectives with the Sheriff's Cannabis Compliance team say the operation had a fradulent license.  Because the investigation is still ongoing, detectives aren't releasing specifics of the operation, or exactly where the plants were being grown.  No arrests are being reported.
