Springville police were led to the home of the operation on Sept. 19 after a local woman who lost her cell phone asked authorities to check the residence where the phone was pinging from.
“Officers knocked on the door and when the residents opened the door, the officers immediately smelled the strong odor of marijuana,” a social media statement from police read.
Authorities ultimately confiscated $40,000 in drugs, $53,000 in cash and a loaded rifle from the home on Sept. 19.
