Norwalk police raided the Smokey Bear Tobacco and Vape shop on North Main Street Wednesday, seizing a range of marijuana products and arresting a 19-year-old employee, investigators said.

Officers took into custody employee Islam Altahami, a Norwalk resident, on an active warrant for the illegal sale of marijuana. Police also charged him with an additional count of illegal sale and with possession of more than 8 ounces of marijuana found at the scene.

The search was carried out under a warrant and was part of an ongoing probe into city smoke shops allegedly selling marijuana products without authorization. Police noted shops cannot legally sell products with a total THC concentration greater than 0.3% without a state-issued license.

During the search, officers seized 1.405 pounds of illegal marijuana edibles, 0.1375 pounds of THC vape product, and 0.54 pounds of marijuana flower. Much of the marijuana was hidden in a magnetic compartment near the cash register. Among the confiscated edibles were 89 seltzer cans containing 25 mg of THC, 120 cans containing 50 mg, and three cans containing 5 mg. Authorities also recovered just over $1,700 in cash.

Altahami’s bond was set at $60,000, and he is due to appear in state Superior Court on Dec. 24.

Police previously raided the same shop in August, seizing marijuana products and several bottles of nitrous oxide and arresting a Stamford woman at that time.
