On Tuesday, June 22, 2010, Investigators from the Lake Superior Drug and Gang Task Force, Duluth Police Department, and the United States Marshall's Service served a search warrant in the 1700 block of Warren Avenue.

Two suspects, a 65 year old Duluth Woman and her 35 year old son were arrested and lodged at the Saint Louis County Jail on charges of First Degree Controlled Substance Crime.
Through continued investigation and assistance from the East Metro Narcotics Task Force in Saint Paul, a second search was conducted at an address in the Twin Cities area where another grow operation was located. The investigation is on-going.
