“They rerouted electricity and built their own ventilation system,” El Dorado Code Enforcement Officer Jim Wassner said. “Had they run all their equipment at once, it would have melted the wiring and started a fire. It could have been disastrous.” Said neighbor Dan Bachilla: “As soon as the people moved in, they boarded up the downstairs windows, so you couldn’t see inside.”
Plants in every growing stage were recovered, Sheriff John D’Agostini said.

“We believe the people who were operating this have ties to the South Sacramento area,” he added. “The message to anyone in the community is, don’t do this in El Dorado County. We will find you.”
Investigators also raided a home in the South Sacramento area, but no drugs were found, confirmed a spokesman.
No suspects are in custody at this time.
