Authorities seized at least 100 pounds of marijuana products Monday afternoon from a suspected illegal cannabis operation in Mott Haven, marking the third major drug bust tied to the property in less than two years.<\/p>\n
The raid happened at 516 Timpson Place, where sheriff\u2019s deputies were seen carrying dozens of bags filled with cannabis products and THC vape pens out of a storefront operating under the name \u201cBud-Zotic.\u201d<\/p>\n
A notice of closure posted at the front of the property stated the company did not have a license to manufacture cannabis products, which were neither tested nor approved by the Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n
The notice also stated the facility was located too close to a school, place of worship or youth facility.<\/p>\n
Authorities have not yet released an official total of how many products were seized or announced any arrests.<\/p>\n
The location has been tied to multiple large-scale drug investigations over the past two years.<\/p>\n
Last August, authorities seized more than 1,200 pounds of marijuana products worth an estimated $3.2 million from \u201cBud-Zotic,\u201d which previously operated out of the same building. Investigators at the time also recovered an imitation firearm, methamphetamine and approximately $21,000 in cash.<\/p>\n
The property connecting 516 and 522 Timpson Place was also linked to a separate $10 million drug bust in July 2024.<\/p>\n
Officials said the building owners previously rented space to individuals connected to the earlier drug investigations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities seized at least 100 pounds of marijuana products Monday afternoon from a suspected illegal cannabis operation in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-236019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
