Federal drug agents Wednesday raided a pair of medical marijuana collectives in Anderson and Mount Shasta.
But Drug Enforcement Administration officials remained tight-lipped on the details.
DEA agents served federal search warrants at the Green Heart locations in both cities, Special Agent Casey Rettig said.
However, documents relating to the warrants and the warrants themselves are sealed in federal court, Rettig said. She couldn't provide a court case number.
"I don't have any information on that," she said.
Owner Gina Munday was notified by her alarm company Wednesday morning, thinking someone had broken in, she said. The DEA officers had kicked in the door, she said.
"They broke all the windows, vandalized the inside of the building and took all of the medicine," Munday said. "We were so surprised."
Darrick Snipes, who manages the Green Heart in Mount Shasta, said agents kicked in the door there before 10 a.m., when the storefront opens.
"They came in and took everything," he said.
Anderson Police Department would not provide any information, Capt. Robert Kirvin said.
There have been no arrests at either location.
Snipes said the Mt. Shasta collective is restocking and reopening today. He also said he thought the Anderson location would reopen.
Munday was embroiled recently in a legal battle with the city of Anderson over the collective. The City Council first approved a ban – a prohibition on dispensaries through city zoning code – in October.
A Shasta County judge in January granted the city's request for an order to temporarily shut down the storefront. The Mundays unsuccessfully appealed the ruling and a jury trial is set for December, according to electronic court records.
James DeAguilera, a Redlands attorney representing Munday, could not be reached for comment.
