According to police, Undercover Narcotics Vice Squad Detectives launched an operation at Convenience and Smoke, a local establishment situated at 225-04 Jamaica Avenue. During the course of their investigation, the detectives successfully purchased items containing Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a psychoactive compound found in cannabis.

Additionally, they confiscated various cannabis-based items, as well as a large quantity of flavored nicotine products that were prominently displayed for sale.
