Provincial police officers seized cannabis products and psilocybin with an estimated value of more than $155,000 when they raided the headquarters of an illicit online delivery service known as HerbertHaze operating in Pembroke and Petawawa on Thursday afternoon, the force says.
Three people from Petawawa were arrested.
Cannabis products including resin, edibles and the concentrate known as shatter were seized along with “a large quantity” of cash from the service, which was known as Potawawa420 until last month, police said. About $75,000 worth of property was also seized, including two vehicles.
Two men aged 42 and 49, and a 35-year-old woman face charges including possession of cannabis for the purpose of distribution and possession of the proceeds of crime.
They were released on an undertaking pending a court appearance in Pembroke July 28.
The noon raid was conducted by the OPP-led provincial cannabis task force backed up by the OPP’s biker enforcement unit, emergency response team and street crime unit and the Canadian Forces National Investigative Services drug enforcement team.
The provincial joint force cannabis enforcement team aims to “dismantle organized crime groups, eliminate the illegal cannabis supply, remove illegal cannabis enterprises such as store fronts and online, and target the proceeds of crime,” the OPP said.
