Orange County Register article
SANTA ANA – Authorities carried out a search warrant on a marijuana-growing operation Thursday night, discovering what city narcotics investigators described as the largest and most high-tech operation they have ever seen.
A week after the city's narcotics unit received an anonymous tip about marijuana being cultivated in a warehouse in southeast Santa Ana, police were joined by officials from the Orange County Sheriff's Department in a search of the facility, Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
They discovered a high-end operation in the 6,000-square-foot facility capable of producing more than $120,000 worth of marijuana every six weeks, authorities said.
"Everything in this building has to do with running the marijuana business," Bertagna said.
Composed of four rooms, each with dozens of marijuana plants at various stages of maturity, as well as a fifth under construction, the warehouse was equipped with an elaborate air-filtration system capable of minimizing the operation's odor, as well as a high-tech hydroponic system that allowed growers to mix water and fertilizer.
Narcotics officers described the operation as being six to seven times larger than the ones they usually discover in apartments or homes.
Investigators spent a week investigating and conducting surveillance on the property before getting a search warrant, Bertagna said.
No arrests have been made, with the investigation into the operation continuing. Authorities began removing equipment and marijuana from the facility late Thursday night.
There were no records of a business license for the building since 2009, Bertagna said. Santa Ana city code explicitly forbids the sale or growth of marijuana.

If you live in a state where it's practically legal, why the hell would you grow in a city that expressly forbids it? Obviously, it shouldn't be illegal, so I can't really say they "had it coming" or anything, but at the same time... uh, hurpa durp?
