Canyon Country Structure Fire Uncovers Illegal Marijuana Cultivation

A Canyon Country garage fire uncovered an illegal marijuana grow operation Saturday afternoon, resulting in one arrest. 

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. 

“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.

“During the investigation, deputies learned the suspect, who later arrived on scene, was responsible for the residence and had knowledge of the illegal marijuana cultivation,” Arriaga said. 

Aslanbek Adaev, 31, was arrested for the illegal cultivation of marijuana.  

He was booked into the SCV Sheriff’s Station and subsequently released on citation to appear in court at a later date.
