A glass company was hired by Ottawa police to replace the front door of a pot shop on Montreal Road just hours after members of the drug unit entered the property with a search warrant.

The raid occurred on Tuesday morning at Dr. Greenthumb, a marijuana dispensary at 973 Montreal Rd.

As a worker was installing the new glass, two officers were parked outside the business in separate vehicles. While one officer suggested details about the raid would be available through their media relations office, that department was not able to provide further details about the warrant.

The business is adjoined by a Subway shop. An employee at the restaurant who was working during the raid was not aware of the incident.

Dr. Greenthumb, which sells a variety of cannabis concentrates and edibles, including a candy-like product in the shape of a revolver, was one of several dispensaries raided by police last October, one month after Ontario Attorney General Yasir Naqvi declared war on the province’s illegal pot shops.
