Authorities last week destroyed more than 900 marijuana plants discovered growing on the Menominee Indian Reservation, Tribal Police announced Tuesday.
The eradication was executed during the early morning hours of Aug. 14 in a heavily wooded area on the reservation. The plants destroyed had an estimated street value of $1.35 million.
No arrests have been made so far, but police said the investigation is ongoing.
It was the largest grow operation seen in the area since 2010, when authorities found more than 70,000 marijuana plants growing in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Most of those plants were discovered at 11 grow sites in Oconto and Menominee counties.
Last week’s eradication effort followed a two-month investigation involving the Menominee Tribal Police Department and various local, state and federal authorities.
