— An early morning raid Monday netted $9 million worth of marijuana and destroyed one of the largest pot growing operations in state history, drug enforcement agents reported.

Agents with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control, the Chickasaw Nation Light Horse Police Department, and the District 22 Drug Task Force raided a remote area 15 miles north of Ada after receiving an anonymous tip about a large-scale growing operation.

Agents seized about 6,000 high-quality plants — some as high as 8-feet tall — with an estimated street value of $9 million.

Six different patches of plants were found within a few hundred feet of each other on private property near an abandoned rock quarry, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics spokesman Mark Woodward said.
