"Maine Authorities Crack Down on Illegal Marijuana Grows, Make Multiple Arrests"

The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office in Maine has arrested six individuals and issued a warrant for a seventh suspect after uncovering several illegal marijuana growing operations in the area, seizing thousands of cannabis plants. There is concern that these operations, suspected to be Chinese-run, are widespread and impacting legitimate licensed growers in the state. Maine's congressional delegation is pushing for crackdown on these operations, with 270 suspected properties across the state. The Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone with information on illegal operations to come forward.
