Police said marijuana packaging materials and small amounts of THC products were discovered at Smoke King, while a variety of illegal products — including marijuana, marijuana vape products, and THC-infused edibles and drinks — were found at Smoke Empire.
Investigators then seized more THC products and an additional two and a half pounds of marijuana from a vehicle connected to Smoke Empire, officials said.
