Police said they seized marijuana, cannabis-laced edibles and gummies, cash, cellphones and pepper spray during the raid.

Topspot Herbal Clinic is the 10th marijuana dispensary to be raided by police since early November. Six of the raided shops have simply reopened.

“Ottawa Police Service would like to remind the public that storefront marijuana dispensaries are illegal and have no association with lawful medical marijuana,” said a police statement. “Investigations related to such illegal storefronts will continue.”

Topspot on Bank near James Street opened in the fall. At the time staff said they planned to sell only to medical marijuana patients.
