Sheriff seizes 1,200 pounds of drugs in the Bronx

BRONX, N.Y. (PIX11) – Officials shut down a large facility selling cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms in the Bronx, according to Sheriff Anthony Miranda. 

Community complaints led investigators to the large store on Timpson Place around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, which officials said was selling unregulated drugs. Over 1,200 pounds of THC concentrate, cannabis flower, edibles and psychedelic mushrooms was seized from the facility, Miranda said. 

Four people were arrested during the raid, officials said. 

“Everything that you can think of in terms of what the illicit illegal market is distributing in our communities, we found at this location,” Miranda said. “These are the things that we say should not be distributed in our communities.”

Officials said the property was being used as a social club. 

New York City has cracked down on illegal dispensaries in recent months. In early July, the city had shut down nearly 500 illegal cannabis shops.
