When it comes to sniffing out trouble, Scooby-Doo has nothing on Habo the German shepherd.
For the third time in less than two years, the police dog has sniffed out a marijuana growing operation at the same Placentia industrial complex.
The Placentia Police Department’s K9 unit dog alerted officers to the marijuana in the 700 block of Monroe Way. Officers had served a search warrant Monday morning and seized 600 live plants and 100 pounds of packaged marijuana valued at half a million dollars.
Placentia police Lt. Eric Point said Habo previously sniffed out marijuana in a suite of the complex in July and last year in April.
