Peel Regional police have arrested four people for illegally selling cannabis in Brampton.

The police began an investigation into an illegal dispensary on Queen Street East in Brampton in April.

On Tuesday, officers executed a search warrant at the location around 12:30 p.m. and four people were arrested and charged under the 2017 Cannabis Control Act for illegally selling cannabis.

They were also charged for failing to comply with the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act by operating a non-essential business.

Officers seized 3.3 kg. of cannabis along with other cannabis-related products being sold.

The individuals charged will appear at the Provincial Offences Court in June.

There is currently only one authorized cannabis store in Brampton, located in the area of Main Street South and Nanwood Drive.
