1,000 pounds of marijuana found in SW OKC warehouse
OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Agents from multiple agencies searched two locations in southwest Oklahoma City for illegal marijuana on Wednesday. It's part of an ongoing investigation across multiple agencies. The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics said the raids were separate, but the cases are connected. Del City PD seeks help to identify man in theft investigation One raid was in a building of what Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics agents called a 'stash location for the black market.' 'Essentially just a warehouse where marijuana would be brought in and and stored until other people as tied to these criminal groups would come and get their portions of these shipments,' said Mark Woodward, with the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics. That warehouse has an address online for a place called 'Twice Baked Edibles.' The second raid was nearby at 'Green Plus Dispensary' on S Western. 'Our partners at the Attorney General's Office and the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority were simultaneously serving a warrant at the dispensary location that's located right next to the property,' said Woodward. OBN agents found about 1,000 pounds of marijuana inside the warehouse. Wednesday's search is part of an ongoing investigation between the OAG, OMMA, OBN, and OKCPD. Oklahoma City Police seize 3 pounds of fentanyl Agents said the search has been going on for months and there's still more to be done. 'What we want to continue to do is find out who are all the people that are involved, what are all the farms that are growing marijuana and having it brought to this location for sale on the black market?' said Woodward. Woodward also said the warehouse they raided was a Chinese-run organization. 'About 85% of our criminal growers are linked back to organized crime linked to the Chinese because of their involvement in black market marijuana distribution here in the United States. So these are very complex to try to shut down the entire organization, not just one location, whether that's a farm dispensary or a stash location,' said Woodward. At the same time as Wednesday's raid, agents with the Attorney General's Office searched a medical marijuana waste disposal in Logan County. As of right now, there have been no arrests and the investigation is still ongoing. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
