Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics agents raided an illegal marijuana grow operation near Noble on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, seizing thousands of plants, more than 100 pounds of processed cannabis and two firearms. One person was arrested, and investigators say more arrests could follow.
The search warrant was executed at DTS Group INC near 180th Avenue and Blueberry Hill Way near Noble in Cleveland County. The outlet reported that agents seized 5,356 marijuana plants, 142.6 pounds of processed marijuana and two firearms during the search. KOCO, meanwhile, reported a seizure of 5,300 marijuana plants and over 142 pounds of processed cannabis at the same site — a discrepancy in the plant count between the two reports that has not been reconciled.
One suspect was taken into custody in connection with the raid, though OBN has not released the arrested person’s name, per the station’s report. Agents received assistance from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Homeland Security during the operation, and Cleveland County officials provided land and a site at county facilities for destroying the seized marijuana.
