A Canyon Country garage fire uncovered an illegal marijuana grow operation Saturday afternoon, resulting in one arrest.Â
Around 2:30 p.m. Saturday, emergency responders received reports of a structure fire on the 19600 block of Aldbury Street in Canyon Country, according to Deputy Natalie Arriaga, spokesperson for the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station.Â
“It was reported smoke was seen coming from the garage,” Arriaga said.
When emergency responders arrived on-scene, a sizable marijuana grow with at least several plants was observed to be taking over the garage, according to officials.
