Five people were arrested and 4,000 plants were seized on Wednesday from a 50,000-square-foot building, which happens to be 75 feet from Denham Plastics. The two structures share a common gate.
Turlock attorney Michael Warda said Denham Plastics workers had no indication of any alleged illegal activity.
