Two properties in central Maine believed to be illegal marijuana grow houses connected with international crime are now owned by the U.S. government.
Earlier this month, court records show a judge ordered 368 West Ridge Road in Cornville to be forfeited to the government.
Since the owners didn’t respond to the criminal complaints against them, a judge ordered the forfeiture by default along with another property in Corinna, which is also believed to be an illegal grow house.
