An alleged marijuana-growing operation was found in a Bradley home where police were called Thursday for an attempted burglary in progress.

Bradley police said Friday that during the investigation, officers found elements at the scene of a growing operation.

Bradley investigators, along with agents with the Kankakee Area Metropolitan Group, obtained and executed a search warrant at the residence in the 100 block of South Jefferson Avenue.

Marijuana plants, in multiple stages of growth, were located along with several other controlled substances.

Bradley police arrested:

· Michael Oliver, 38, of Bradley, in connection with unlawful production of cannabis (20 to 50 plants)

· Jacob Pangle, 28, of Bradley, in connection with two counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of cannabis (between 500 and 2,000 grams)

Both men reside at the South Jefferson Avenue residence.

Bradley police are working with area police in finding the vehicle and offenders involved in the attempted burglary that fled from the scene and officers.

At 3:12 p.m. Thursday, officers responded to the 100 block of South Jefferson Avenue regarding an attempted burglary in progress.

Oliver, who was not home at the time, observed the incident on home cameras and called police.

While officers were en route, shots were fired after a reported confrontation with associates of the resident, striking garages along the alley and a vehicle.

Bradley officers pursued a suspect vehicle into Kankakee, where Kankakee police pursued the vehicle until the choice was made to end the pursuit for the public’s safety.
