MET Served Search Warrants in the Carlotta and Blocksburg Areas Tuesday
This is a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:
On March 23, 2021, deputies with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) served two search warrants to investigate community complaints regarding illegal indoor cannabis cultivation in the Carlotta and Blocksburg areas. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the California State Water Board and the Humboldt County Environmental Health and HazMat Team assisted in the service of the warrants.
Two parcels were investigated during the service of the warrants. The parcels did not possess the required county permit and state license to cultivate cannabis commercially.
During the service of the warrant at a parcel in Carlotta, deputies eradicated approximately 3,173 growing cannabis plants. Assisting agencies also found two water pollution violations (up to $20,000 fine per day, per violation) and numerous hazardous waste violations as a result of oil spills and diesel fuel leaks near Cummings Creek.
During the service of the warrant at a parcel in Blocksburg, deputies eradicated approximately 8,412 growing cannabis plants. Assisting agencies also found one water diversion violation (up to $8,000 fine per day, per violation) and six industrial generators with oil spills.
Additional violations with civil fines are expected to be filed by the assisting agencies.
No arrests were made during the service of the warrant. The case will be forwarded to the DA’s Office for review.
Anyone with information about this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251 or the Sheriff’s Office Crime Tip line at (707) 268-2539.

Told ya folks, the past few days are just the beginning…
Yeah, no shit, it’s late March . I don’t think you’re going to win the Nostradamus award with your prediction.
Me thinks this is the result of that little helicopter night cruise on the 10th. They took out those people south of Harris right after that flight. You can see where they zig zagged around in that area. You never know where those tricky little elk are hiding 😂
Your absolutely right. Same thing happened last year when they flew up the Mattole and around the county. They have 2 weeks to use the FLIR for a warrant.
Maybe, but the press release says the investigations were the result of community complaints.
Maybe someone has tired of the constant noise of diesel generators in their otherwise peaceful world
There no update or pictures? 6 generators. I want to to see this
