More than 500 marijuana plants and 115 pounds of marijuana packaged for sale were seized and 10 people were arrested Thursday following a joint operation.

The operation was conducted by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department's Marijuana Enforcement Team and the Victor Valley Sheriff's Station, who served search warrants at four rural locations.

"The large amount of marijuana seized at the individual locations suggests the suspects had no intention of abiding by California’s medical marijuana laws and were strictly for-profit operations," the sheriff's department said in a release.

The operation involved busts at four different grows and the arrest of a man, Jesus Casas, who was wanted by Santa Clara County.

Officials don't believe the grows, which were all in the El Mirage area of the county, were connected.
