Authorities raided a medical marijuana grow in Pasco where a teen was recently shot during an attempted break-in.

Members of the Drug Enforcement Agency and Pasco police searched the grow on the 600 block of Madrona Avenue on Monday and seized a “large amount” of marijuana, authorities said.

Police did not report any arrests during the raid, which was led by federal agents.

A 16-year-old was shot in the wrist earlier this month while allegedly trying to steal marijuana plants from the backyard.

During the investigation, police seized four guns from the home.

Police say Monday’s search stemmed from the shooting investigation.
