KENNEWICK -- A marijuana operation with 901 plants was shut down by Benton County sheriff's deputies Friday.

The plants were found in an undisclosed location in the county and harvested Friday morning, said Deputy Joe Lusignan.

Investigators are continuing to track down the participants and other associated grows, so additional information was not released, he said. The street value of the plants that were found is estimated to be about $900,000, Lusignan said.
