Federal and state officials arrested and charged five people in a large-scale marijuana-growing operation on Kauai.
Officials seized about 6,000 marijuana plants in the dense jungle at the foot of Mount Waialeale, which is state land. With an estimated street value of $5.9 million, U.S. Attorney Ed Kubo called the case “the largest outdoor marijuana growing operation ever prosecuted” in Hawaii.
The investigation, called Operation Green Stream, captured the five suspects on videotape allegedly harvesting, cultivating and smoking the marijuana.
