Authorities believe a house in Poway was being used as in indoor marijuana growing site.
Three people were arrested on Friday on the 13500-block of Acton Avenue and accused of using a residence as a pot extraction laboratory.
Timothy Tien, 23, Jason Lujan, 25, and 28-year-old Jaime Katzenstein were arrested at the scene. The suspects allegedly operated a mobile marijuana delivery service from the house. They are also accused of making marijuana oil, which is known to cause explosions. They were booked into Central Jail on charges of selling and growing marijuana.
The Narcotics Task Force seized 230 marijuana plants and about 20 pounds of pot at the home. The estimated street value of the drugs is $750,000.
The City of Poway is investigating code violations on the property and the three men will appear in court sometime next week.
