Sheep Ranch, CA…On Thursday, September 17, 2026, the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office executed a search warrant in the 1700 block of Hubbard Road in Sheep Ranch (Calaveras County) for an illegal marijuana cultivation operation.
The search warrant, authorized by the Calaveras County Superior Court and led by the Calaveras Narcotics Enforcement Unit (CNEU), resulted in the eradication of an illegal marijuana cultivation site.
Deputies eradicated approximately 8,100 mature marijuana plants, which, based on a potential yield of 1 to 3 pounds per plant, could have produced an estimated 8,100 to 24,300 pounds of product. At an average estimated street value of $400 per pound, the illegal operation could have produced between approximately $3,240,000 and $9,720,000 in potential street value.
No suspects were located on the property during this operation; however, the investigation remains ongoing, and detectives are actively working on several leads.
The Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office remains committed to protecting public safety and the environment by targeting illegal marijuana cultivation and related crimes. Anyone with information regarding illicit marijuana activities is encouraged to contact the Sheriff’s Office anonymous tip line at (209) 754-6870.

What the Fuck no suspects were located!!! I don’t know how many times I’ve read this type of shit from CCSO. you ever heard of real life surveillance or is there a snitch working for CCSO?
I’m sure glad my garden cant be seen from the sky and no nosy neighbors near by. Tax free baby and living the dream.
In that shit hole trailer of yours! Hahahahahaha
Strange NEVER is anyone located and arrested in these Calaveras Co grows!
I have interviewed many homeless people, there are many locally, and everywhere on the west coast and beyond. If you can get past the sadness of someone who was once „normal” you find many of these poor souls started out smoking weed, some handled it, some moved on to the next substance and eventually fried the only brain God gave them! There was once the argument that alcohol was just as bad if not worse, doesn’t matter, you take chances with either substance, and you fry your brain, the street is your home! Just remind yourself, these people are someone’s child, the parents had dreams and hopes for each one, my point, MJ is a stepping stone to many younguns to changing their lives forever, legal or illegal! Some of us have tried it, some of us didn’t let it control our lives, count your blessings, anyone that thinks MJ use is just for fun, good luck with raising your children, they may be the next homeless person walking the streets , dragging a dirty sleeping bag, with no hope for the future, PERIOD!
Been using cannabis for 40 years . College education. Worked a 30 plus year career. Own my own home . I am retired and live quite comfortably. Don’t drink alcohol it is far more addictive and definitely more destructive. MJ ? You sound like you’re a paranoid person right out of the reefer madness era and very ignorant people
Amen! MJ never made anybody smarter!
Marijuanna does not lead to homelessness you idiot. Smoked in high school. Honor student. On the swimming team. 4.0 grade point average in college. Own my own business. Self disciplined. Stop blaming cannabis. You probably support flock cameras and total surveillance. Control freak. Brainwashed.
I love the comments that the „idiot was able to get from users! I noticed not one of you could enter the discussion w/o name calling, I hope you got your fix, and your kids as well, the issue, marijuana use, seems to make many of you defensive, I think the topic was about the „homeless” and not the fortunate ones that never moved on to other substances, consequently fried their brains! Sleep tight!
I’ll drink to that! Shut up you’re inane yammering is useless !
By the looks of the use of the English language by you, apparently you “fried” your brain. Try again moron. w/o Aeye.
Duuuuude. Pass me the bong man………………………Lets rock some Led Zepplin man………………
Fuckin’ A bro, I dig the reefer…………………………….

They found nobody on site? Most likely that grow was being done by the cops themselves..
