Pontotoc County law enforcement conducted an operation targeting the out-of-state black market, and as a result, they were able to confiscate thousands of pounds of marijuana. This week’s bust resulted in the seizure of 40,000 marijuana plants and 3,000 pounds of processed Marijuana.
Five search warrants related to illegal marijuana sales in other states were reportedly served, according to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. Three suspects have been apprehended thus far in connection with this inquiry.
The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, which led to the arrests, has said that the Sooner State is a major gateway for transnational marijuana trafficking. There are a number of reasons why Oklahoma is viewed as a desirable location for criminal organizations, according to experts. One reason is that, according to government sources, Oklahoma has among the least stringent laws governing various economic sectors.
