Detroit police confiscate 200 pounds of marijuana, multiple guns during dispensary raid

Cash also recovered

DETROIT – Detroit police confiscated 200 pounds of marijuana, cash and guns while raiding a medical marijuana dispensary on the city's east side Friday evening.

Authorities raided 5 and Dime on Dwyer Street near 8 Mile and Mound roads.

Police recovered six guns and assorted edibles and liquids, in addition to the 200 pounds of marijuana. 

The raid took place after a group of people attending the THC Expo, a legal event at the Roostertail, took a bus to the dispensary to purchase marijuana. Authorities caught word that people would be going to 5 and Dime, so a search warrant was obtained.

Three felony arrests and four misdemeanor arrests were made.
