Brooklyn, NY – What began as a report of an alleged kidnapping and carjacking quickly turned into one of New York City’s largest recent cannabis seizures, authorities announced.
According to the NYC Sheriff’s Office, the Sheriff’s Joint Compliance Task Force was alerted by the NYPD’s 68th Precinct about a possible cannabis stash house after officers followed leads to a residential basement.
Search warrants executed at the location uncovered approximately 644 pounds of THC and cannabis-related products, both from the home and a vehicle connected to the case. Officials say the seized materials were part of an unregulated cannabis operation.
Two suspects were arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping and carjacking, while a third was taken into custody for unlawful cannabis possession, according to the Sheriff’s Office. The Kings County District Attorney’s Office is now handling the ongoing case.
Law enforcement leaders credited interagency cooperation between the NYPD and the 68th Precinct’s Field Intelligence Officers, emphasizing their focus on removing unregulated and potentially harmful cannabis products from New York communities.
