The New York City Sheriff’s Office is at the forefront of the battle against illegal smoke shops in the Big Apple, and amNewYork Metro recently rode along with law enforcement officials as they conducted a takedown operation in Brooklyn and Queens — resulting in several arrests and seizures.
According to New York City Sheriff Anthony Miranda, his office’s primary focus is to put a dent in the businesses of those who set up shop and sell illegal cannabis products, mushrooms, cigarettes, and vapes in the vicinity of schools and houses of worship.
