514 pot plants discovered in Newfane house

NEWFANE -- More than 500 marijuana plants were seized on Saturday during a police search of a residence in Newfane, said Windham County sheriff's deputies.

The house on South Wardsboro Road belongs to Michael Bean, but no arrest has been made in the case, deputies said. Authorities have not yet determined which people in the home were responsible for the contraband found in the residence.

Among the items seized were 514 marijuana plants or cuttings, weighing more than 30 pounds, along with paraphernalia used in the cultivation and processing of the drug.

Twenty-four firearms also were located in the home, police said.

The bulk of material was found in a room that appeared to have been built for the purpose of cultivating the marijuana for sale and distribution, police said.
