COHASSET — Two residents were arrested in Cohasset early Friday when their residence was raided and police allegedly found 2,598 marijuana plants.
The two men arrested are Azael Pech-Casanova, 18, and Extor Felix-Venitez, 29. Both men are from Mexico.
Police reportedly found some plants only a few inches tall, as well as others that were taller than seven feet, according to a press release.
Police also found processed and drying marijuana, as well as several guns, some of which were allegedly stolen. The weapons were reportedly a .22 caliber rifle, a stolen 9mm semi-auto handgun and an AK-47 assault rifle. The men are being held without bail because of a hold placed on them by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Pech-Casanova and Felix-Venitez were arrested for felony charges of cultivation and possession of marijuana for sale, possession of stolen property, armed felony and possession of an assault rifle.
