PAGE COUNTY, Va -- Here are all the details on a massive drug bust in Page County, where investigators found more than $400,000 dollars worth of suspected marijuana and supplies.

The sheriff said a child may have been living in the home at the same time.

Investigators searched a home in Rileyville in July and now, forensic experts are trying to figure out if the plants are actually cannabis.

Page County Sheriff John Thomas says the investigation took two years.

"We did surveillance. We followed him. We watched who came and went from the residence. We pulled electric bills," said Sheriff Thomas.

Charges are pending while the sheriff's office waits for the results from the lab analysis.
