LOS ANGELES, Calif.—A massive law-enforcement crackdown on illegal marijuana-grow operations in the Antelope Valley last month resulted in more than 130 arrests and the seizure of marijuana with a street value of more than $1.19 billion, Sheriff Alex Villanueva said July 7.
When the raids started June 8, Villanueva called them “the largest operation ever to take place in the history'' of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and he repeated that assertion July 7.
