Police discovered 46 marijuana plants and 14 mason jars of marijuana in the basement of an unidentified Auburn residence Wednesday, Oct. 14.
The drugs seized had an estimated street value of $50,000, according to an Auburn Police Division press release.
Arrest warrants are pending, and the department is not going to release further details as the investigation is on-going.
"I mean to be honest, I don't know," Capt. Tom Stofer, of the Auburn Police Department, said about whether the bust was one of the more significant to happen in Auburn. "I would say one of the bigger ones we've seen in a while."
Most marijuana-related incidents occur off-campus, Stofer said.
"It'll be destroyed," Stofer said about the fate of the drugs. "It goes to the Department of Forensic Science to be weighed, and then it's destroyed after that."
