DENVER -- Multiple licensed marijuana dispensaries in the Denver metro area have been raided by police.
Denver police say the violations are criminal in nature, but would not go into specifics.
Officers are executing search and arrest warrants, according to the Denver Police Department.
While police would not confirm which businesses are part of the raid, multiple Sweet Leaf locations are reportedly closed with notices saying licences have been suspended.
"Medical and/or retail marijuana licenses for these premises have been suspended by order of the Denver Department of Excise and Licenses for alleged violations of Colorado law," reads a notice from the city of Denver posted on the Sweet Leaf location at 26th and Walnut streets.
Customers were turned away today at the Evans Avenue location and signs were posted on the doors letting customers know the retail marijuana licenses have been suspended by the city for violating Colorado law.
The spokesperson for the city department of excise and licenses tells FOX31 that 26 licenses, including retail and medical marijuana, cultivation facilities and one medical marijuana infused product facility has been suspended.
Charges have been filed, arrests have been made and an investigation is ongoing.
A store employee tells us they were interviewed today and photographed by police but were unaware of any wrong doing by the business.
