STOCKTON - The discovery of 20 sophisticated indoor marijuana gardens in four- and five-bedroom homes in north Stockton and Weston Ranch neighborhoods this month has sent a ripple through the affected communities.

Three weeks ago, the marijuana operations continued unnoticed behind blocked-out windows that shielded bright grow lights. Then police SWAT teams began battering down the front doors and revealing complex electrical, ventilation and watering systems feeding up to 500 plants a home, about 6,000 plants total.

STOCKTON -- The investigation into 20 indoor marijuana grow operations uncovered over two weeks in Stockton this month will become part of a larger federal investigation.

A federal grand jury Thursday handed down indictments of four San Francisco men arrested Sept. 13 in the first of the Stockton raids.

Federal prosecution is already under way in a similar operation in Sacramento and Elk Grove, and the indictments are the first formal link in what is being called the most sophisticated drug syndicate ever uncovered in north central California

The Great Stockton Pot Busts of 2006 are about more than growing marijuana and Asian gangs from San Francisco using $600,000 Valley residences as indoor farms.

No matter where you live, how valuable your home, how high the fence, how tightly the gate is locked, the past 10 days of raids should be a wake-up call.

big deal, its not like they're meth labs.

shit, I gotta get out to Stockton sometime!

That's actually kinda small compared to some of the busts here.There was an apartment complex of 20 something units and 16 were grow ops and meth labs just the other day..seems like it happens every day here
