Barely a week before the city's deadline to close all pot shops, Los Angeles police raided a Woodland Hills marijuana dispensary they say was operating illegally.
The raid Tuesday afternoon at The Loft Co-op at 21146 Ventura Blvd. netted $1,000 cash and 10 pounds of marijuana, police announced Thursday.
On Thursday afternoon, no one answered a phone number listed for the business.
Anna Woods, 21, of Thousand Oaks and Carmen Hsieh, 22, of Van Nuys were booked for possession for sales of marijuana, a felony that could carry up to three years in jail. Both were released early Wednesday on $20,000 bail.
On police arrest records, Hsieh listed her occupation as "dancer," while Woods was "manager volunteer."
LAPD Detective Carlos Figueira said that despite its name, the "co-op" was acting as a for-profit business, not the cooperatives state voters approved.
