Martinez Police Find A Marijuana Grow House In Oakland
Police arrest a man in connection with an August arrest for a Martinez grow house.
Martinez police, with the help of the FBI, Oakland and Alameda police, discovered an 80-plant marijuana grow house on Ninth Avenue in Oakland, a month after Martinez police arrested two brothers for a similar grow house in Martinez.
When they went in search of the suspect at a home in Alameda, however, police initially went to the wrong house, according to the San Francisco Chronicle and CBS Channel Five.
According to Martinez police Lt. Jon Sylvia, 43-year-old Sang Ung and his brother Mang, 27, were arrested on suspicion of growing marijuana in a Martinez home in August.
