STANISLAUS COUNTY –  On October 27, 2020, the California Bureau of Cannabis Controls’  Enforcement Unit, with the assistance of the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, served a multi-location search warrant regarding unlicensed cannabis retail and cultivation located in Stanislaus County. The search warrant resulted in the seizure of cannabis flower, edibles and concentrates with a value of more than $1.2 million.

“Violators of California’s cannabis laws are quickly finding out that operating a commercial cannabis business without a license can result in some very steep civil penalties,” said California Statewide Law Enforcement Association (CSLEA) President Alan Barcelona.  “BCC investigators are working to protect the licensed cannabis businesses in California as well as consumers who purchase cannabis products.”
