VIRGINIA BEACH
A 27-year-old man was charged after police raided a home in the Ocean Lakes area last month and seized about 150 marijuana plants.
Jeffrey Bigland was charged with conspiracy to violate the drug control act and sale and distribution of marijuana, said Margie Long, police spokeswoman. The home is in the 1100 block of Revelstroke Court.
Bigland, who was charged on Jan. 24, was given a $10,000 bond, Long said.
The plants, Long said, range in value from $1,000 to $4,000 a plant, depending on their potency.
Along with the plants, police seized equipment they said was used in the hydroponic growing operation, including a fan, digital scales, special lights and a humidifier.
