An investigation led to the shutdown of a smoke shop. Undercover operatives and underage decoys were sent in after community complaints. These decoys were able to buy tobacco, and an officer purchased marijuana without a license.
Employees seemed to anticipate the shutdown and closed the shop early. They did so just before officers arrived with a city order to lock the doors.
Further details about the shutdown and investigation are available from the source, including a video report.
