Authorities in northeast Iowa are still looking for two young men after a marijuana grow operation was discovered Christmas morning.

The Fayette County Sheriff’s office executed a search warrant at an apartment complex in the town of Fayette after receiving a tip about marijuana being manufactured in one of the units.

Around 2:30 Christmas morning, deputies entered the apartment at 106 Mechanic Street and found “numerous” plants, equipment, chemicals and heat lamps. Two men are wanted on charges of manufacturing marijuana.
