SAN RAMON — Two men were arrested after a large marijuana grow, estimated to be worth more than $1 million, was found inside a San Ramon home, according to police.

Guo Yong Deng, 35, and Bofeng Huang, 26, both of San Leandro, were arrested Monday, after police served a search warrant on a home in the 100 block of Shadowhill Circle, located just north of Crow Canyon Road. Inside, police discovered an estimated 700 marijuana plants, which have a street value of more than $1 million, according to Lt. Tom LaRocque.

Deng and Huang were arrested on suspicion of cultivating marijuana, conspiracy and theft of utilities. Huang was booked at the County Jail in Martinez on $170,000 bail, while Deng was released pending further investigation.
