    Weed On Wheels: Victoria Police Arrest Man Running A Marijuana Vending Cart

    Darpan News Desk IANS, 11 Nov, 2016 02:23 PM
      VICTORIA — The public may be used to seeing ice cream carts or beer carts at events on hot summer days, but not carts selling illicit substances.
       
      Victoria Police say they arrested a man peddling a marijuana cart that was decorated with the name "420 Delivery" in large type on the sides. The number 420 is a widely used code term for marijuana use.
       
      Officers noticed the man peddling through the city's downtown core last week.
       
      Police say the 22-year-old man in charge of the vending cart was found in possession of 150 grams of marijuana.
       
      The man was released on a promise to appear in court next month. 
       
      Police are recommending charges of one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking.
