Las Vegas/Southern NevadaPot Capital Of The Country?

From the LVRJ: Metro Police narcotics and SWAT officers raided two alleged marijuana grow labs on Friday and arrested three people, officials said.
Two arrests were made about 5 p.m. after police recovered 17 marijuana plants in a search at a house in the 7600 block of Pioneer Ranch Avenue, police said.
Four guns were also taken from the home, police said.
At another house near Rancho Destino Road and East Warm Springs Road, police found 374 marijuana plants when they executed a search warrant, officials said. One person was arrested, police said

So far, Metro, Nye County and other police agencies have busted numerous pot grow houses and have found about 7 or more pot growing operations in the Spring Mountains. Not surprisingly, most if not all of those arrested/identified have Hispanic last names.
Sounds like one or more Mexican drug cartels have set up shop in Southern Nevada to plant, grow, harvest and then ship their illegal drugs throughout the country.
I wish good hunting/harvesting to Metro, Nye County and other local police agencies in Southern Nevada. I don't think they are getting much help from the DEA, so they are on their own and they are doing a good job finding the drug houses and drug fields. Good job men and women.
