Paul Phillips said in a news release. <\/p>\n<p>The investigation began Wednesday when police received a complaint about an illegal cannabis dispensary and delivery service.  Narcotics detectives were dispatched to Friars Road, west of Fashion Valley Road, and found three people loading items into a rented U-Haul truck, Phillips said. <\/p>\n<p>Investigators arrested the three people &#8211; a 23-year-old woman and two men, aged 35 and 25 &#8211; and searched the truck.  Inside, they found more than 210 pounds of cannabis, more than 5,000 cannabis concentrates, nearly 3,900 edibles and more than $53,000 in cash, Phillips said. <\/p>\n<p>Investigators also learned that the trio operated the lab, where potentially dangerous butane gas is used to turn cannabis plants into a highly potent waxy concentrate typically known as hash oil or honey oil. <\/p>\n<p>Narcotics detectives obtained two additional warrants to search a pair of apartments on 11th Avenue near Market Street in downtown&#8217;s East Village neighborhood, Phillips said.  There, they found about $650,000 believed to be proceeds from the cannabis delivery service. <\/p>\n<p>Detectives also served search warrants on the U-Haul truck, several other vehicles and a home, Phillips said.  The three suspects were booked into jail on suspicion of various charges including operating and maintaining a drug house, operating a hashish oil laboratory, possessing cannabis for sale, health and safety violations and charges of tax and income evasion.<\/p>\n<p>Jail records showed that none of the suspects remained in custody as of Friday. <\/p>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegouniontribune.com\/news\/public-safety\/story\/2022-08-12\/san-diego-police-raid-hash-oil-lab-seize-700k-while-breaking-up-alleged-unlicensed-cannabis-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN DIEGO \u2014 San Diego police busted an unlicensed cannabis delivery service this week, seizing more than $700,000 and raiding a hash oil extraction lab in the process, police said.
