A coalition of local, state and federal authorities confiscated several hundred marijuana plants found growing in rural Western San Joaquin County.

Undercover agents with the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Department teamed with federal Campaign Against Marijuana Planting (CAMP) officals to spot and remove 250 to 300 plants discovered in a cornfield near Eight Mile Road north of Stockton along the Delta.

Authorities said the plants were well-hidden, spaced in small clusters in the among the corn stalks.

"I think we're seeing more and more of it and counties are overwhelmed by especially gardens like that," said Ovonaul Berkeley of CAMP. "You can take care of a big garden. You get a lot of product at one shot."

Under the direction of the state department of Justice's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, CAMP is composed of local, state and federal agencies tasked with eradicating illegal indoor and outdoor marijuana cultivation and trafficking throughout California.
