Police ‘monitoring’ as Halifax marijuana store re-opens after police raid
HALIFAX — A Halifax marijuana dispensary has re-opened after being raided last week, and police aren’t ruling out further charges.
“While our officers use discretion for situations involving individual possession of marijuana, we’ll continue to address drug trafficking in our community,” Const. Dianne Penfound said Tuesday.
Four people were arrested when Auntie’s Health and Wellness Centre was raided Friday, but a spokeswoman confirmed the store has opened its doors again, reportedly with the help of volunteers.
Penfound said they received a number of complaints about Auntie’s prior to last week’s raid and were “obliged” to investigate. Now that it has re-opened, she said, they are monitoring the business and the investigation is ongoing.
