Victoria police say their raid of a downtown cannabis dispensary this morning does not represent an organizational shift in their approach to pot shops.
VicPD officers executed a search warrant at Remedy Medicinals Dispensary on the 800-block of Fisgard Street this morning. Investigators aren't saying if anything was seized.
Three people were arrested and then released, but police say it's too early to say if criminal charges will be recommended.
Cst. Matt Rutherford says the investigation started following a complaint after 30 pounds of pot was found being shipped on a Helijet flight to Victoria on January 10.
"Specifically with this investigation and search warrant, it's in relation to that 30 pounds of marijuana that was being transported on a commercial aircraft. That's concerning to our department when a quantity of marijuana is being transported on a commercial aircraft, potentially putting the public, those passengers, and any crew or employees at risk."
Remedy Medicinals is one of 35 dispensaries currently operating in Victoria.
