WESTPORT — An employee at a smoke shop on Post Road East has been charged with manufacturing and selling cannabis products illegally, police said.
Sales associate Mohemed Zeine Hedimy, a 24-year-old Brooklyn, New York man, was charged on on Tuesday with illegal sale / manufacture of cannabis, Westport police Lt. Jillian Cabana said in a news release Wednesday. She said Hedimy was released after posting a $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in the Superior Court in Stamford on March 28.
Cabana said the arrest came after Westport detectives and the State of Connecticut Drug Control Division executed a search warrant at Savvy Smoker on Post Road East. She said it was part of an investigation into non-licensed cannabis sales and complaints of sales to minors.
When they executed the search warrant, Cabana said, authorities seized pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes, canisters of THC flower, THC resin products, THC vape cartridges and THC edible products.
Caban said the investigation remains ongoing and that additional arrests are anticipated.
