One man was arrested, and between 400 and 500 marijuana plants were confiscated Tuesday morning from a residence in the southwest valley, Las Vegas police said.

The identity of the man arrested was not released. Cassell said the street value of the plants was about $1 million. Police worked the case with officials with the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The home where the raid occurred was near a church and a soccer field, Cassell said.
