Officers followed their noses to a marijuana bust Thursday in Chatsworth.

A man and a woman were taken into custody after officers noticed a "strong odor" coming from their pickup. Officers stopped the truck in the 9900  block of Canoga Avenue about 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, said Officer April Harding of the LAPD's media relations department.

"There was a strong odor of marijuana in the truck," Harding said.

Officers then noticed the smell of marijuana emanating from a vent at a nearby warehouse. Harding said about 1,000 marijuana plants and a hydroponic growing system were found in the warehouse.

Police arrested the pickup's two occupants.  The subjectss names were not immediately released.
