Major Illegal Weed Bust in Brooklyn (video)

Mayor’s Statement and Ongoing Efforts

Mayor Adams commended the operation, known as Operation Padlock, which aims to shut down illegal cannabis distribution centers. Sheriff Anthony Miranda emphasized that community complaints were crucial in identifying and shutting down these illegal locations. He advised residents to continue reporting suspicious activities to help curb the proliferation of illegal shops.

Criminal Charges and Future Implications

Unlike typical illegal stores that receive civil fines, this operation faces criminal fines due to the involvement of felonies, including illegal marketing and distribution. The authorities urge the public to stay vigilant and report any illegal activities in their neighborhoods.
