Waterloo police raided a marijuana store in Cambridge for the second time in a month Wednesday.
Police say they received numerous complaints about the address in identifying it as an illegal dispensary.
In the most recent raid, police arrested three people and seized vegetative marijuana, cannabis oils, cannabis edibles and cash. The trio were all from Hamilton.
Police busted the same store on July 26, where they took in a similar haul of vegetative marijuana, marijuana edibles and cash. Three others were arrested that day.

Some in the community have questioned whether police resources should be used to shut down pot stores, but police argue that the stores remain illegal and the product is not being properly tested before it is sold.
“These stores are not legal and the product they are selling is not tested or regulated,” Waterloo police spokesperson Cheri Greeno said. “The product they are selling is potentially harmful because they do not know what it is in the product.”
