Within the last two weeks of January 2020, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Narcotics Bureau, along with the assistance of Altadena Station Detective Bureau members, conducted two different search warrant operations, at two different illegal marijuana dispensaries within the Altadena township area along Fairoaks Drive.

After the execution of both warrants, a combined total of eleven individuals were arrested for a variety of crimes, including several believed to be employees. Three firearms were recovered (one was confirmed to be stolen) and a large amount of product was recovered, which included Marijuana, Marijuana eatable products, Marijuana vapeable products and large sums of money, which drives the trade in the first place.
