Police Say Campbell Home Invasion Probably Targeted Pot Grow

CAMPBELL - Marijuana plants being cultivated inside a Campbell home were likely the target of a home invasion reported to Campbell Police early Thursday morning.

In an Internet posting, the Campbell Police Department said it "does NOT believe that this robbery was a random occurrence."
