LAKE COUNTY -- Deputies busted what they called the largest and most sophisticated marijuana growing operations they've ever seen.
A tip from the power company led deputies to the house Thursday night in a very rural area on Indigo Road north of Mascotte.
Inside investigators said they found an estimated 2,000 pot plants, with a street value of at least $2 million.
Investigators said half of the house and garage had been transformed for the sole purpose of growing pot. The rest of the house was in the process of being transformed.
Deputies said the whole thing was elaborate.
"They found that the home here uses an underground irrigation system. It uses reclaimed water. It has pumps to cool the water. They also found track lighting inside to cool the plants. The entire operation is unbelievable," said John Herrell, a spokesman from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies arrested a man inside the home, Mario Guerra, who allegedly admitted to the whole thing.
He's now facing felony charges.
Meanwhile, Orange County deputies spent the night pulling drugs and guns out of another home.
Undercover agents raided a house on Glen Eagle Road.
Inside they said they found three pounds of pot, along with 13 pot plants and a gun.
Investigators spent hours at the scene pulling all the drugs out of the home.
There is no word yet on if deputies have made any arrests.
