GROVE CITY, Ohio -- As many as 6,000 marijuana plants were found in a growing operation in Grove City Wednesday evening.
The discovery was made in an area just west of state Route 104 south of Grove City by agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration after receiving a tip from a hunter.
A hunter with what is known as a deer camera was reviewing video in preparation for the upcoming deer season when he noticed people on the video going into a remote area.
He thought something was suspicious and contacted police.
The street value of the marijuana is valued at more than $1 million and it's believed that this was the second crop of the season.
The plants were found on land owned by the Southeast Conservation Club -- a hunting and fishing club. Police said the land is near a former Boy Scout camp.
"Once we got in, there was a big clearing -- probably 50 by 50. They've actually cut trees down, had planted marijuana and you could just see them all over the place," said Sgt. Brian Davidson, of Grove City Police.
Police said they do not have any suspects at this time.
