BRIDGEPORT \u2014 Three people were charged with gun and drug offenses after city police served a warrant at a business Monday and seized \u201cextremely large amounts of marijuana,\u201d vape devices, untaxed cigarettes and guns, according to officials.<\/p>\n

During an investigation, undercover officers with the department\u2019s Narcotics and Vice Division bought marijuana from the Smokers Box smoke shop at 1668 Park Ave., Capt. Kevin Gilleran said.<\/p>\n

\n

He said the business does not hold a dispensary permit or license to sell recreational marijuana.<\/p>\n

The Narcotics and Vice Division served a search warrant at the business on Monday, leading investigators to what Gilleran said were \u201cextremely large amounts of marijuana,\u201d THC vape devices, THC edibles and untaxed cigarettes. Gilleran said all items were priced for sale within the store.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Investigators also seized two guns, one of which was stolen, Gilleran said.<\/p>\n
