SAN DIEGO — Narcotics detectives raided an allegedly illegal marijuana dispensary in City Heights and seized more than a dozen pounds of marijuana and nearly $5,000 in cash while arresting three employees, police said Wednesday.
The raid Tuesday at the Tree Amigos dispensary on El Cajon Boulevard was part of an ongoing effort to dismantle allegedly illegal marijuana dispensaries, delivery services and grow operations in the city, Lt. Matt Novak said.
