Federal agents and local authorities recently executed 13 search warrants on indoor marijuana grow operations in King County.

The sweep was part of a collaborative effort by law enforcement in “Operation Green Reaper.”

Authorities from Auburn participated in the sweep that targeted the command and control components of the Puget Sound’s indoor marijuana grow organizations.

In conjunction with the raids, law enforcement seized 4,578 marijuana plants, three weapons, approximately $50,000, 20 vehicles and took 20 subjects into custody.

“It is important for the public to know how dangerous indoor marijuana cultivation is to our community,” said David Dongilli, assistant special agent in charge. “These drug trafficking organizations are concealing their illegal activities in the very heart of many of our neighborhoods.”
