On Thursday, law enforcement officials went to West State Street and raided two establishments, taking away marijuana, edible marijuana items, and an assault-style weapon.
According to a statement that was published on Facebook by the Olean Police Department, “Neither business possesses a license to legally sell marijuana, and the amounts possessed exceed the legal limit for personal use.”
There may be charges forthcoming.
“At this time, there are no businesses located within the city limits of Olean that are in possession of a license from the New York State office of Cannabis management to legally sell marijuana.”
House of Strainz was located at 1214 West State Street, while Bud Brothers was located at 1322 West State Street. The Street Crimes and Patrol departments of the police department, along with the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force, executed search warrants at both of these locations.
According to the post on Facebook, each establishment was searched and found to have many pounds of marijuana as well as treats. The house of Strainz was searched, and the firearm was found there.
