Altadena detectives arrested two following a warrant search that uncovered a marijuana candy operation Friday.
Detectives from the Altadena Sheriff Station and narcotcs bureau received information that a location on the 500 block of Figueroa Drive contained drugs. After receiving a search warrant and entering the location, officers discovered that the location also held a marijuana candy manufacturing and sales operation.
"Several pounds of marijuana was seized at the location along with a large amount of homemade 'candy' containing marijuana (suckers and chocolate bars), and equipment used in the "candy" manufacturing process," according to a sheriff's press release.
Two suspects were arrested at the location, but their names are being withheld as the investigation is continuing.
The sheriff has also released a photo of some of the 'candy' to alert parents, as the products are "typically targeted towards teens," according to the press release.
