Police using ​military helicopters raided a New Mexico school looking for marijuana growing in a greenhouse last month, but all they found there were a bunch of tomatoes.

The armed raid on the school containing 11- to 14-year-old students occurred during lunch hour on September 21, according to education director Patricia Pantano.

“We were all as a group eating outside as we usually do, and this unmarked drab green helicopter kept flying over and dropping lower,” Pantano said, reports Tom Sharpe at The Santa Fe New Mexican. “Of course, the kids got all excited. They were telling me that they could see gun barrels outside the helicopter. I was telling them they were exaggerating.”
