Three men. Hundreds of marijuana plants. One big bust.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested the men Wednesday afternoon with the help of Hillsborough County deputies.

Investigators used a search warrant at 14620 Dupreee Road in Wimauma and found several rooms "converted for the sole purpose of growing marijuana," an arrest report states. There were 341 marijuana plants inside the home and another 23 marijuana plants in a trailer at the location.

Reinaldo Camacho, 56, who lives at that address, faces several charges including trafficking in marijuana and manufacture of marijuana.

Jesus Cruz-Reyes, 40, of West Palm Beach, and Alfredo Rodriguez-Rodriguez, 37, of Miami, also were arrested at the Wimauma address. Their charges also include trafficking in marijuana and manufacture of marijuana.

The men remain in Orient Road Jail today. No bail has been set.

Immigration officials have placed a hold on the men, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Jail web site states.
