Three people are under arrest after an illegal marijuana dispensary in the North County was shut down. 

Members of the Sheriff's Special Enforcement Detail (SED/SWAT) served a search warrant in the 3100 block of Rainbow Valley Boulevard in Rainbow on Friday, February 26 around 7:00 a.m.

The warrant is part of an investigation by the Sheriff's Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET) and the Fallbrook Sheriff's Substation Crime Suppression Team in connection with two shooting incidents at the location that happened in January and October of last year. 

The following items were seized during the search: 

117 pounds of marijuana
195 pounds of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and vape products
333 pounds of THC infused edibles
256 THC infused drinks 
$24,155 in cash
Three guns 
One ballistic vest

The County's Code Compliance Team also responded to the location.  It determined the structure was not permitted and posed an extreme hazard to anyone who entered the building.  County Code Compliance says the building was not structurally sound and noted exposed wires which pose a significant fire hazard.  The danger was so extreme, County Code Compliance asked Southern California Edison to cut off power to the entire property.  County Code Compliance is also looking into condemning the building.
