CLINTON, N.Y. \u2014 Hundreds of pounds of \u201cillicit cannabis\u201d products valued at more than $900,000 were seized at an illegal Centre Road store, the state Office of Cannabis (OCM) management said Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The OCM inspected and shut down the operation, known as Goats of Glass, at 947 Centre Road, on Tuesday, Feb. 10, officials said. The illegal location was used to grow, process, store, and sell illicit products, according to a press release.<\/p>\n
The shop was located a little over one mile from Clinton Town Hall at 1215 Centre Road.<\/p>\n
OCM spokesperson Taylor Randi Lee said the civil enforcement action was precipitated by a complaint received on the department\u2019s online complaint form. \u201cWe do not criminally enforce, we civilly enforce,\u201d Lee said. \u201cWe shut down their store, (they) were given orders to seal, and then they have to appear before an administrative law judge to see if they\u2019ll be able to reopen their shop or they\u2019ll be fined.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lee added, \u201cWe encourage our community members, that includes our licensees, that if they see something, say something.\u201d<\/p>\n
The names of the operators were not released by OCM. Lee said the seized products were destroyed.<\/p>\n
Investigators recovered 105 pounds of cannabis flower, 73 pounds of illicit edibles, and five pounds of cannabis concentrate, and the operators were issued an order to seal and padlock the facility, Lee said by phone Tuesday, Feb. 17.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Gov. Kathy Hochul said, \u201cNew York State has rules in place that protect the health and safety of New Yorkers, and we will continue to take decisive action to shut down illegal operations that put our communities at risk and undermine New York\u2019s legal industry and the hundreds of small businesses that are following the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
Daniel Haughney, director of enforcement and investigations at OCM, said, \u201cThese enforcement actions send a clear message that illegal cannabis operations anywhere in New York will be investigated and dealt with. Whether in major cities like New York, or in rural communities \u2026 our investigators work every day to shut the illegal operators down. Actions like these help restore confidence in our regulated market and keep these communities safe, which is our top priority.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2026 alone, OCM has closed 22 illegal cannabis shops, adding to the 557 illicit storefronts shut down statewide, according to the press release.<\/p>\n
