Mountaintop Marijuana Harvest Destroyed by Police
About 300 to 400 male marijuana plants were seized on a mountain plateau in Conemaugh Township and burned at the municipal building. Authorities said the plants, grown for three to four months, were cultivated with chicken manure and peat moss and exposed to ample sunlight. No arrests were made due to insufficient evidence and staking-out costs, though officers said they wanted to prevent possible seed dispersal.
