Farmers Branch police and agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration execute a search warrant at a warehouse and seize money and drugs, and uncover an entire operation that spans across the country.
Police and DEA Agents seized $400,000 in cash, and over 4,600 pounds of marijuana from the warehouse on Valley View Lane. They got a tip and have been investigating the operation for months.
Police say the suspects forged Certificates of Authenticity for legal Hemp and CBD products, before replacing the contents with illegal drugs. Police say the suspects would repackage it, and ship it to vape shops across North Texas, the state and across the country!
Police conducted several undercover buys, and had the products tested. They all contained high levels of THC.
While police detained people inside the warehouse, so far no arrests have been made.
The DEA will take over the investigation from here.
