Mounties say the contraband candies look like professionally manufactured products, but investigators found they were made in ‘highly unsanitary and heavily contaminated’ modular trailers
The police says some of the cannabis-laced edibles had packaging with claims of medicinal properties and 'dangerously high drug potency values.'As Halloween approaches, police on Vancouver Island are urging the public to use caution after officers seized more than 120,000 cannabis-laced edibles, including chocolate and candies with packaging that mimics recognizable treats.
A statement from the Mounties say the contraband candies resemble professionally manufactured products, but investigators found they were produced in “highly unsanitary and heavily contaminated” modular trailers. They say six suspects were also arrested as part of the operation earlier this month, and police are pursuing the recommendation of drug-related charges.
