Pot bust in Beach Flats

Santa Cruz police officers seized large quantities of marijuana and more than $40,000 in cash at a Beach Flats home late Friday.

Santa Cruz firefighters, who were dispatched to the home on a medical call, noticed marijuana plants and a duffel bag stuffed with the drug in portioned baggies. Santa Cruz police obtained a search warrant, and in a more thorough search, discovered the cash.

The 71-year-old woman said she had a medical marijuana card. She was taken to Dominican Hospital. Her condition is unknown.

Police are investigating ownership of the plants. Police asked that anyone with information call 420-5995 to leave an anonymous tip.
