The Snohomish County sheriff’s office says its deputies found explosives and guns at a marijuana grow operation in Lynnwood.
The deputies found about 100 marijuana plants at in various stages of growth when they searched the home Friday morning. Perhaps more troubling was an undisclosed amount of C-4 plastic explosives and guns.
“Fortunately, C4 is a plastic explosive, but it’s a fairly stable explosive too. It takes a lot to detonate that,” said Snohomish County Chief Kevin Prentiss.
The Washington State Patrol’s regional bomb squad was called in to collect the explosives.
“Generally you don’t find people who have stashes of C4 explosives in their house,” said Prentiss.
A 26-year-old from Edmonds was arrested at the scene for investigation of manufacturing marijuana with intent to deliver.
