The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and other law enforcement agencies arrested 11 people during a four-county raid on marijuana facilities that recovered drugs as well as pot-laced breakfast cereal and candy bars.

Officials served search warrants this week at 16 locations, seizing 78 pounds of marijuana as well as related evidence, according to a statement from the Sheriff's Department. Officials said the drugs had a street value of $234,000.

The crackdown targeted medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Diego counties. Local law enforcement was aided by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the State Board of Equalization and the State Franchise Tax Board.

According to the statement, officials found pot-laced crisped rice treats, orange drinks and "cannabis-laced cereal similar to Froot Loops or Apple Jacks."
