"They had a trailer full of black bags that really look like a lot of weed."

"Any idea about the bust that took place on Humboldt Hill road last night around 5:00.? " Reader messaged me about the 6100/ 6200 block of Humbdt Hill between between Bongio and Bayview Lane. House across the street is 6182 Humboldt Hill.

"There were a lot of patrol cars where that barn is there was a car parked in there and they were going through stuff. I know that I registered sex offender had lived there and they've been cleaning it up. Not that that has anything to do with it but that's why I noticed the place. They had a trailer full of black bags that really look like a lot of weed."

Have contacted HCSO for more information.  They are putting out a press release.
