A substantial marijuana-growing operation was discovered behind a residence in rural Manchester Township by a joint narcotics enforcement team Tuesday afternoon, police said.
Investigators with The Livingston and Washtenaw Narcotics Enforcement Team, using a helicopter provided by the Michigan National Guard, located the large field of marijuana plants in the area of Ely Road near Sharon Hollow Road, said Lt. Monica Yesh of the Michigan State Police.
Police found more than 2,000 plants, many of them between 4- and 6-feet tall, as well as other marijuana in different stages of cultivation inside the residence.
"It's one of the largest outdoor growing operations LAWNET has dealt with," Yesh said.
No arrests were reportedly made and investigators will return to the scene today, officials said.
The enforcement detail is part of the annual Operation HEMP, geared at locating and eradicating grow operations statewide.
