Details:
In the beginning of May, deputies assigned to the Lake Elsinore, Sheriff’s Station, Problem Oriented Policing Team, received information regarding a possible illegal marijuana cultivation occurring within the City of Wildomar.
On May 27, 2020, at the direction of Sheriff Chad Bianco, deputies served a search warrant in the 24400 block of Senna Drive. The entire residence was transformed using common building materials into a marijuana cultivation site. The electrical system within the residence had been illegally altered causing a severe fire hazard. Southern California Edison Company responded to the residence and turned the power off to the residence due to the illegal wiring throughout the residence. Approximately 570 marijuana plants in various stages of growth were located during the search warrant.
This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact Deputy Carlson at the Lake Elsinore Sheriff’s Station (951) 245-3300.

Business owners and residents are encouraged to report criminal activity directly to law enforcement by calling Sheriff’s Dispatch at (951) 776-1099, or by calling 911 if the matter is an emergency.
