A mobile cannabis dispensary illegally operating near a school in Rego Park, Queens was shut down following an undercover operation by the Queens District Attorney's office. The van, parked under the Long Island Expressway, was monitored after community complaints. Investigators conducted undercover purchases leading to a search warrant that resulted in the recovery of more than five pounds of cannabis products and three arrests. The crackdown highlights ongoing efforts against illegal dispensaries, with over $25 million in products seized since November 2022.
Since November 2022, the Queens DA's Office has seized over $25 million in products from more than 400 suspected illegal cannabis dispensaries throughout the borough.
This illegal cannabis truck was parked just across the street from a school and a few hundred feet from a playground, said District Attorney Katz.
We will not relent in our aggressive enforcement actions against unlicensed dealers who sell unregulated products that are targeted to children.
The van, parked under the Long Island Expressway, had been under surveillance for several weeks after multiple community complaints.
