NORWALK — Two men were arrested and marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms were seized during raids at three local vape shops Tuesday, police said.
Police executed search warrants at the establishments based on an investigation started in January looking into tips that the vape shops were also selling illegal drugs, including marijuana, pills and psychedelic mushrooms, Sgt. Sofia Gulino said.
The raids occurred at Vape Wise at 203 Liberty Square, Exotic Snax, at 117 Washington St., and Sono Vape at 68A Washington St., police said.
During the raids, officers seized 2.73 pounds of marijuana, 29.3 grams of psychedelic mushrooms, thousands of products containing illegal levels of THC including gummies, vapes and oils and $8,400, Gulino said.
A 28-year-old Bronx, N.Y., resident, who is connected with Sono Vape, was charged with two counts of sale of controlled substances.
A 43-year-old man from Fort Wayne, Ind., who is connected with Vape Wise, was charged with sale of controlled substance.
Both men were released on $10,000 bond and are scheduled to appear April 17 in state Superior Court in Stamford.
The investigation is continuing and more arrests are expected, Gulino said.
