Authorities say they seized 902 marijuana plants during a raid on an indoor growing operation in Owen County.

The sheriff's department says a four-month investigation by Deputy Erich Teuton and Indiana State Police officers led to the seizure, which began about 9 a.m. Thursday.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents, Indiana conservation officers and officials with the county prosecutor's office joined deputies and state police in serving a search warrant at the growing operation.

A sheriff's news release doesn't disclose the exact location of the raid and doesn't say whether any arrests were made.

The release says officers also seized two vehicles during the raid.
