Police say the recent raids on marijuana operations have cut the amount of good-quality pot available in Lincoln but have not appreciably reduced the total available.
According to spokeswoman Katie Flood, anti-drug officers said lower-quality Mexican marijuana is still plentiful.
Flood said two raids Wednesday evening brought the total number of house raids to 10 since March 5.
In that time, about 6,500 plants have been confiscated and about as many dead plants that were in the process of drying.
The plants' street value was estimated between $15 and $20 million. Police said about $100,000 in equipment was also confiscated.
