A five-month-long investigation into an Alberta-based online cannabis retail operation has led to the seizure of $3.3 million worth of cannabis products.
In total, police recovered 2,589 cannabis plants, more than 134 kilograms of dried cannabis and 636 grams of cannabis concentrates. The EPS estimates the pot to be worth $3,393,000.
Police also seized 947 grams of psilocybin, valued at $12,000, and $15,500 in cash.
Growing equipment was also seized across multiple sites and is valued at $177,000.
Additionally, three vehicles were seized, including two Telsa Model 3’s and a 2016 Dodge Ram.
The investigation remains ongoing and charges are pending against multiple individuals.
