Over the course of the investigation, it was revealed those shops were selling products to school-aged children and selling illegal THC limits that are set by state law.

Undercover agents were successfully able to buy THC with up to five times the legal limit, according to the sheriff’s office.

Twenty pounds of marijuana and 600-plus pieces of counterfeit merchandise were seized from the shops. De Javu, Tobacco & Vape, Discount Tobacco, Jimmy’s EZ Pass, EZ Path Smoke, and The REC were among the shops involved.
