​Officers from the Central North District Major Crime Unit used the Cannabis Act search warrant to search an unlicensed dispensary near Alness Street and Finch Avenue West around 7 p.m. on Friday.

The officers allegedly found and seized "cannabis products" packaged as notable brands like Cheetos, Fritos, Skittles and more.

Police warn that these "products could be harmful if ingested, especially to children," and "would like to remind adults to keep any cannabis products safely stored away from children."

Police are asking anyone with information to contact them at 416-808-3300.
