A large law enforcement operation unfolded in Santa Ana on June 23, 2026, as narcotics investigators served a search warrant at a business in the 3600 block of West Pendleton Avenue.
Shortly before noon, detectives from the Santa Ana Police Department Narcotics Unit, along with officers assigned to California state narcotics and cannabis enforcement teams, executed the warrant as part of an ongoing investigation.
Video from the scene showed large bags believed to contain marijuana being removed from the business and loaded onto a truck by investigators.
Authorities detained at least 30 individuals during the operation. As of the latest information available, two people had been taken into custody while the remaining detainees were being investigated and interviewed.
Officials at the scene provided limited information due to the undercover nature of many of the officers involved in the operation.
Investigators have not yet released details regarding the amount of marijuana seized, potential criminal charges, or the nature of the alleged violations being investigated.
The investigation remains ongoing.
