WOODLAND PARK, Colo. — Authorities say marijuana and hash oil were seized after raiding an illegal grow and processing lab in a rural area in central Colorado.
The Teller County Sheriff’s Office says authorities raided a house outside Woodland Park on Thursday, finding 60 plants and dozens of pounds of processed marijuana.
Authorities also found several pounds of hash oil in a THC extraction lab on the property. THC is the active ingredient of cannabis.
The sheriff’s office says no arrests were made, but the investigation is ongoing.
