Group of thieves steal $3.6 million worth of CBD oil from Georgia facility: cops
A quartet of thieves was arrested last week for allegedly stealing more than $3 million worth of CBD oil from a Georgia processing facility in January in one of the largest heists of its kind in the state. The group is accused of taking off with a staggering 3,000 liters of CBD distillate from a hemp processing plant in Irwin County, according to the Ocilla Police Department, which then alerted the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Those 3,000 liters had an estimated worth of $3.6 million, cops said. 3 Authorities arrested four thieves suspected of stealing $3.6 million worth of CBD oil in January. Google Maps Hemp oil, or CBD distillate, is a type of cannabis product most often used to treat joints and chronic pain. It contains very low levels of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, so it does not typically cause a person to get high. CBD has grown more popular in recent years and has even been added to sodas and other drinks available at small shops and grocery stores. The Ocilla authorities partnered with the DOA due to the nature of the robbery. The investigation took five months and eventually led them to the doorsteps of the four suspects, including two who had absconded to Houston, Texas, according to the DOA. 3 Authorities believe Aaron Smith was the primary mastermind behind the heist. Authorities arrested Maurice Cornelius Williams, 41, and Deandre Meshack, 24, in Texas on the suspicion that the two were the brawns of the operation. The supposed brains, LaShayla Jones, 31, and Aaron Wayne Smith, 29, were arrested in Dallas, Texas, and surmised to be the primary organizers of the heist. The four alleged thieves worked together to arrange the heist. Williams and Meshack allegedly broke into the Irwin County hemp facility and loaded all 3,000 of the missing liters of oil into a rented U-Haul truck, according to the DOA. From there, officers believe they transported the stolen oil onto another truck outside the county. 3 Deandre Meshack and Maurice Williams were suspected of doing the heavy lifting during the operation. Meanwhile, Jones and Smith allegedly orchestrated the entire operation, with Smith taking the helm, the DOA wrote. The stolen oil hasn't been recovered. It's unclear where the suspects may have sent it, or if it was already sold. The four face a laundry list of different felony charges. The majority are stacked on Smith, including second-degree burglary and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, according to the DOA. 'I am incredibly proud of the work our officers did to ensure the perpetrators of this crime face swift justice, and we're especially grateful to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Rangers, and the Irwin County Sheriff's Office for their vital assistance on this case. In Georgia we are sending a clear message, if you attempt to use agriculture as a cover for criminal activity – we will catch you and you will go to prison,' Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tyler J Harper said. Harper surmised that the heist was one of the largest of CBD distillate in Georgia — and likely in the entire country.

Quarantine area expanded for invasive insect
(WKBN) — The quarantine area for the spotted lanternfly has expanded once again — this time to include Trumbull County. The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) recently expanded the spotted lanternfly (SLF) quarantine to include counties in northeast and northwest Ohio to reduce the spread of the invasive insect. The six new counties now under quarantine are: Wood, Seneca, Summit, Portage, Trumbull and Carroll counties. The updated quarantine is a result of several new infestations reported through ODA's online Ohio Plant Pest Reporter. This brings the number of counties under quarantine in the state up to 18 — including Mahoning and Columbiana, which were already on the list. 'The spotted lanternfly is an invasive pest that is known to cause harm to Ohio's agricultural industry,' ODA Director Brian Baldridge said. 'We appreciate community members stepping up to report this insect when it is found. With their help, our experts can more efficiently identify SLF, treat it, and work to protect the abundant plant life we have here in Ohio.' The spotted lanternfly is an insect native to Asia that is a pest of grapes, hops and apples, along with many other species of plants. This pest is specifically a concern for Ohio's grape and wine industry, which contributes more than $6 billion in economic activity to the state yearly. The pesky insect was first detected in the U.S. in Pennsylvania in 2014. It was likely brought to the U.S. by imported goods, according to ODA. The first confirmation in Ohio was in Mingo Junction in 2020. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
