Shortly after 1:45 p.m., members of the Drug Unit of the Integrated Criminal Investigation Division along with community response and patrol members conducted a search warrant at Waves located at 210 Waverly Road in Dartmouth. Investigators seized over $4,000, approximately 1.5 pounds of cannabis and approximately 150 other cannabis products.
