On my way home yesterday, I ran into a friend who told me that the medical marijuana dispensary down the street had just been raided. I rushed over to see what I could find. The police had already left the scene and the store was closed.

cannabisculture.com Has now reported:

“Police in Ontario executed raids today on both the MCCM medical marijuana dispensary in Hamilton and the Brantford home of the business’s operator Pete Melanhead.

According to CHCH Toronto:

The bust of a distribution shop in Hamilton and a grow-op bust in Brantford has put a dent in the local marijuana trade.

Hamilton police swooped down on a marijuana distribution shop at 174 King Street West. The shop used to be La Riviera Shoes but had only a few pieces of clothes in the window. No word yet on charges.

And Brantford police have arrested and charged three people, after finding a marijuana grow-up with over 55 plants inside a Brantford apartment complex. Police say they searched the property on Winniett Street Tuesday night and found $55,000 worth of marijuana plants and more than $400 worth of dried marijuana.

Another CC source at the scene of the Brantford raid said media trucks and police arrived at virtually the same time.”
