Police discovered millions of dollars worth of illegal marijuana products in a Brooklyn warehouse Friday morning.
Officers responded to a burglary in progress at 65 Adelphi Street around 5:30 a.m. when they found three men inside and a “large quantity of marijuana and THC products,” police said.
The products were unregulated cannabis sent from overseas for distribution to illegal pot shops in the Big Apple, the New York City Sheriff’s Office told WABC.
Among the pre-packaged contraband products were marijuana and THC gummies.
The station cited a city hall spokesperson who said it was one of their largest operations against an illegal marijuana seller to date.
“Thanks to the hard work of the New York City Sheriff’s Office and the NYPD, we led one of the largest operations against a cannabis distributor to date, seizing millions of dollars in product, including edibles, vapes, pre-rolls and more,” the station said.
“A small package of edibles costs $50 and the money generated from the sale of these untested illegal products is mind-boggling,” New York Sheriff’s Office Commander Maureen Kokeas told the outlet.
Nigel Sandy, 37, of Brooklyn, along with Michael Davis, 37, and John Layne, 36, both of the Bronx, were arrested and charged with burglary and possession of burglary tools, police said .
