Federal investigators say they have dismantled an organized crime group on Vancouver Island and arrested six suspects after seizing more than 120,000 counterfeit cannabis-laced edibles resembling popular name-brand snack foods.
The discovery was made Oct. 3 when RCMP federal policing investigators in B.C. executed search warrants in Port Alberni at Green Coast Dispensary and a suspected stash site, as well as in Lantzville at Coastal Storm Dispensary and an adjacent storage and production facility, police said in a press release.
