Two Arrested in Marijuana Grow Crackdown - KIVITV.COM | Boise. News, Breaking News, Weather and Sports-
Shared via AddThis
Three men have been charged in connection with a series of big marijuana grows uncovered by police in both Idaho and Oregon.
Javier Silva-Rangel, Froilan Rubio-Gomez and Horacia Deavila-Cabrera have been charged with Conspiracy to Manufacture and Distribute 1,000 or more Marijuana Plants.
Rubio-Gomez and Deavila-Cabrera are now in federal custody. Silva-Rangel remains at large.
According to the Federal court documents obtained by Today's Channel 6 News, the arrests culminate a three-month investigation which involved search warrants being issued on three Canyon County homes. The homes are at 505 Constitution Way and 1712 Juniper Street in Nampa and 2707 Bristol Avenue in Caldwell. Officials raided the homes last week.
Police say they were conducting surveillance on a "number of subjects who are engaged in manufacturing marijuana on public land."
Court documents say, beginning about April of this year, detectives began contacting local sprinkler and irrigation supply companies in both Ada and Canyon County, after men were seen purchasing large quantities of plastic pipe, hand-operated values and water emitters. The men made all the purchases with cash. Similar vehicles were used.
The same day the homes were raided, authorities in Owyhee County seized about 4,000 marijuana plants in a remote region near South Mountain.
Also last week, authorities in Harney County, Oregon, discovered some 6,000 marijuana plants being illegally grown near the Alexander Mine drop off point. Police say they used GPS tracking devices to determine that the vehicles used to purchase the irrigation supplies were also seen in the vicinity of the marijuana grow. The GPS also showed the vehicles made stops at the Nampa and Caldwell houses that police later raided.
Recently, grow operations were discovered in Boise, Valley and Owyhee Counties. Authorities determined the street value of the drugs were into the millions of dollars. The operations were found on BLM and Forest Service land.
Although the suspects have only been linked to the marijuana grows in Owyhee and Harney Counties, authorities say more arrests could be announced later this week.

Spy Cameras Types and Definitions
Spy Cameras Definitions.
There are many choices for a spy camera, almost as many as reasons for using them. Spy Cameras are used for the covert observation of another person, place or thing without their knowledge. Many people use spy camera to keep an eye on their children while they are in the care of a nanny ( also called nanny cameras). The most common uses for a spy camera are for domestic situations and theft. Business owners find that sometimes it is better to have one hidden camera as well as a complete security system. Husbands and Wives may use them to check on a suspected cheating spouse. The types of Spy Cameras can cause some confusion. Here is a short list to help you decided which spy camera is for you.
Hidden Cameras: Hidden cameras are just that a camera that is hidden in an object so it can not be seen. The come in a few styles, Wired Hidden cameras this type needs a wire run to a recorder to record the video from the hidden camera, Wireless hidden cameras that send a wireless video signal back to a receiver , the receiver is then connected to a recording device.
Wireless Cameras: Wireless cameras are a camera and a transmitter that send a video signal back to a receiver that then can record the video. Wireless cameras come in several forms as well. They can be hidden (see above) or just a mini (small) camera with a transmitter. EVERY wireless camera needs power, power is supplied by a battery (batteries last approx 4 hours) or plug into the wall (the camera and transmitter run indefinitely) Wireless camera are best used in temporary situations only. They send a receive interference and cause problems with wireless routers, baby monitors, some two-way radios and more. Sometimes the cameras have static and sometimes there is no picture at all due to interference. A solid white or black horizontal line on a wireless picture means it is getting interference from an outside source. Static means the camera is to far away or that the signal is being blocked.
Mini Cameras: Mini Cameras are very small cameras that you can hide on your own. The average size is 3/4 X 3/4 and they need a very small hole 1/8 inch to see from The camera is usually mounted behind a flat surface like a picture or the face of a portable device like a clock radio or air purifier. Mini camera can be wireless or wired.
Board Cameras:
Board cameras are much like mini cameras (above) but they are board level. The circuit board is visible and therefore this type of spy camera must be handled carefully. Board cameras are for more advanced camera builders.
Self Contained Cameras: Self Contained Cameras are spy cameras hidden cameras and mini cameras all in one. Self contained cameras have a camera that is connected to a devices power and a built in DVR ( digital video recorder) the DVR uses some form of media to record video. Be it and SD card or internal flash memory. This is the preferred type of spy camera as it is self sufficient and in many cases you can just take a SD card out and play it on your PC. OR connect the device to your TV to view the recorded videos.
Hopefully this will help you in your choice of a spy camera. Please feel free to visit www.spyville.com for further information.
