Fake Eradication Team Steals 500 Marijuana Plants, Cash & Ford F250 Pickup in West Point

West Point, CA...On 10/13/17 at about 2030 hours Calaveras County Sheriff's Office Dispatch received a call of a robbery that occurred earlier in the day. Deputies responded to the 22000 block of Hwy 26 in West Point to investigate the incident. Once on scene deputies were informed by the victims that the incident occurred earlier in the day at a marijuana grow site located on Skull Flat Road, West Point. The four victims informed deputies that two vehicles entered the property on Skull Flat Road with the vehicle occupants identifying themselves as law enforcement. The victims said that there were between five to six suspects and at least three of them were armed with guns. Two of the victims were tied up by the suspects. One of the suspects reportedly was wearing a badge during this incident but did not display any other law enforcement identification or markings. The suspects left the property with approximately five hundred marijuana plants, a large amount of cash, and also stole a black colored Ford F250 truck bearing California license plate #8D04533. The identity of the suspects is unknown and the two suspect vehicles were described as a silver sport utility vehicle and a red truck (pictures attached).




There is an ongoing investigation regarding this incident and no further information is available at this time. Anyone with information regarding this incident should call the Sheriff's Office at (209) 754-6500 and ask for detectives or can call our anonymous tip line at (209) 754-6030.

Calaveras County Sheriff's Office deputies have identifiable uniforms including badge and shoulder patches. Deputies assigned to plain clothes assignments carry their department issued badge and identification cards. If you feel you are being contacted by someone pretending to be a member of the Sheriff's Office, you can ask to see their department issued ID or call 911 to ensure the subject is in fact a Deputy Sheriff or a Peace Officer from another department.
