NARRATIVE:
On December 5, 2018 at approximately 10:30 AM, members of the Pomona Police Department’s Special Investigative Unit and the Pomona Police Department’s Detective Bureau executed a search warrant at a known unlicensed/criminal marijuana dispensary. This dispensary had been operating illegally within the City of Pomona for several months. City of Pomona Code Enforcement Inspectors contacted the owner of this marijuana dispensary numerous times regarding operating a marijuana dispensary without a proper license and permits. The owner of this business consistently refused to comply with the City’s request to cease all illegal activity. Although the use of marijuana is legal in the State of California; the sales of marijuana remains illegal in the City of Pomona. These investigations are sensitive and all efforts to gain compliance are exhausted before police action is used.
During the service of this search warrant the teams recovered in excess of 37 pounds of marijuana, approximately 2000 marijuana products and approximately $13,000 in US Currency.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Pomona Police Department at 909-620-2085.
