Two people were arrested Wednesday after authorities discovered 352 marijuana plants, 1,300 cloned plants and 33 pounds of refined marijuana in a Colorado Springs home, police said.
Katia Sanchez, 44, and Jose Cala Calvo, 42, were arrested on suspicion of felony cultivation and distribution, police said.
While investigating a Feb. 4 report of shots fired, authorities discovered “an active marijuana grow on the property” in the 2400 block of Sinton Road, police said. Shortly before 11 a.m. Wednesday, Metro Vice, Narcotics and Intelligence Division detectives and El Paso County sheriff’s deputies went to the home and confirmed the presence of “a large marijuana grow operation,” police said.
