Greene County ACE Task Force seizes marijuana throughout county

The Greene County ACE Task Force seized more than 60 marijuana plants during an operation Wednesday, that included three locations in residential areas, according to officials.

“The operation involved spotting and seizing marijuana plants that were planted illegally outdoors with the use of aircraft,” the task force said in a prepared statement.

Of the three residential locations, two were in Fairborn and one was in Xenia.  Eight other rural locations had marijuana plants planted on farmland, the task force said.

“The majority of these locations involved suspects trespassing on rural properties to plant the marijuana,” the task force said.

The ACE Task Force has participated in this operation on a regular basis throughout the last two decades.
