Two people were arrested yesterday after they were found to be in possession of stolen marijuana plants.
According to Elk Grove Police reports, officers responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle driving away from a residence. A witness reported they had observed two individuals in the rear yard of a nearby residence.
Patrol officers located the described vehicle near Bruceville Road and Elk Grove Boulevard and initiated an enforcement stop. The vehicle was occupied by 18-year old Octavio Ruiz of Sacramento and 21-year old John Maldonado Salazar of Elk Grove.
A search of the vehicle revealed several small marijuana plants that appeared to be uprooted. Upon further investigation, officers found the backyard where the plants were believed to have been stolen from.
The owner of the house where the plants were taken from was found to be in possession of a valid medical marijuana card. Both suspects were arrested and transferred to the county jail.
