The investigation into the unlicensed marijuana storefront continues and investigators have noted that Health Canada has not licensed this storefront for sales.
“We are unable to comment further on any items seized, as our investigation is ongoing,” police said in a statement. “This search warrant does not represent a change in our approach to marijuana storefronts.”
We prioritize enforcement action based on sales to youth, violence, disruptions to the community & indications of organized crime. #yyj
