Three people were detained when deputies raided an illegal marijuana grow Thursday in El Paso County.

A search warrant was executed on Jones Road, in an eastern area of the county, and 175 plants were seized, according to the sheriff’s office.

The raid took place at a bunker-like building. The grow house included elaborate venting and lighting. Many of the bushy plants look to be over 3 feet tall. The sheriff’s office posted photos of the facility on Twitter.
