Multiple sources tip LoCO off to a sizable law enforcement caravan snaking its way out Alderpoint Road near Blocksburg this morning. One source estimated 15 vehicles had passed.  

The Outpost rang up Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Lieutenant Wayne Hanson who confirmed that half a dozen or so of his deputies, along with assistance from CAMP officers, are conducting raids on open field trespass grows in the area. 

“It’s nothing out of the ordinary for us,” Hanson said also noting that a helicopter seen flying in the area was also a part of the operation. “We’ve been doing it for 30 years.”

Hanson said officers will be out there all day.
