A 24-year-old resident of El Granada, in unincorporated San Mateo County, was arrested Saturday morning during a probation search of his home, after sheriff’s deputies found illegal weapons and drugs there.

Probation searches. A great tool for law enforcement to ensure those on probation are abiding by their agreed upon conditions. Keep it up SMSO.
