HUMBOLDT COUNTY, Calif. — The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) seized hundreds of illegal cannabis products which were being illegally sold at a business in Humboldt County last week.
The sheriff’s office said that on Thursday, Dec. 12, deputies with the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) served two search warrants in efforts to investigate illegal cannabis sales at a smoke and glass shop. The warrants were served at two locations, one in 2200 block of 4th St. in Eureka and the other at an apartment in the 800 block of Bayside Rd. in Arcata.
