Vancouver Police say illegal marijuana store had ties to organized crime

Submitted by Marijuana News on Fri, 08/14/2015 - 08:45

Vancouver Police have now executed a search warrant on an illegal marijuana store after it was determined that the store had ties to organized crime.

Members of the VPD’s Drug Unit executed the warrant at Limelife Society, located at 4866 Rupert Street.

Police say one employee was arrested and released at the scene and police seized some evidence as part of their investigation.

Randy Fincham in a release. “The VPD will continue to respond to residents’ concerns and take enforcement action if it is required.”
