Following an extensive investigation, the Brick Township Police Department’s Street Crimes Unit (SCU), working with the Ocean County Narcotics Strike Force, the New Jersey Department of the Treasury, and the Division of Consumer Affairs, made major arrests related to the sale and distribution of illegal THC vaping products.

The investigation focused on two local businesses on Route 88 in Brick: Welsh Farms and Restaurant Farms.
