As a result of the search warrants, three men were arrested and charged with various offences. Joseph DiSalvo, 23, of Quinte West, was arrested and charged with trafficking marijuana, possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime. The police have not released the names of the other two accused.
The sale of marijuana is still not legal in Canada but should be sometime in the summer, according to promises from the federal government.
