Denver police and federal agents on Tuesday morning raided multiple marijuana growing operations across Denver.
At one site, a Denver police officer was seen in a blue hazmat suit entering a building on North Bryant Street. The officer’s suit reeked of marijuana.
He told The Denver Post that he and other police were executing a search warrant and that several were being executed around town.
James Gothe, group supervisor of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s special support unit in Denver, offered little comment about the operation.
“Itap a very large and successful investigation,” Gothe said. “We’re assisting.”
When asked if it was an illegal marijuana operation, Gothe said itap an ongoing operation so he could not comment other than to say that the operation involved the Denver Police Department and the Colorado Attorney General’s Office.
Tuesday’s raids came 11 months after — the largest raids on Colorado pot businesses since medical marijuana became legal.
