RUIDOSO, N.M. (KRQE) - Deputies say tracks in the snow helped lead them to a major pot growing operation.
It happened in Ruidoso.
Deputies say it started with reports of a car hitting a fence and taking off.
When a deputy followed the tire tracks to a nearby property he discovered more than 50 plants and growing equipment.
He also found a number of guns.
The sheriff says one of them had been reported stolen in Texas back in 1988.
Investigators say the suspect isn't someone they know.
