Police said hundreds of illegal THC products and marijuana were seized from Smoke House vape shop on Connecticut Avenue in Norwalk on Thursday.

Odette Rosario, 55, of Norwalk, was arrested and charged with having possession of cannabis and interfering with an officer.

Investigators seized over 1 kg of marijuana and nearly $2,000 in cash.

Norwalk police said they have an ongoing effort to investigate Smoke and Vape shops selling cannabis without a license.

Chief James Walks said in a statement, "The Norwalk Police Department remains committed to the investigation of retail smoke shops who continue to sell illegal marijuana products. The unregulated sale of marijuana in smoke shops and small retail presents a significant public safety issue by selling these products. I would like to thank the commitment and perseverance of the investigators of the Special Services division."
