Downtown smoke shop accused of trafficking illicit narcotics and firearms

A store in downtown Edmonton has been caught selling illegal weapons and things used for drugs, according to the police.

Edmonton Police are looking into 5 Star Gift and Smoke Shop on 107 Avenue because people in the neighborhood have complained about violence.

On Thursday, police took 10 sword canes, over 120 cans of bear spray, five cattle prods that look like flashlights, and many butterfly knives and brass knuckles during a search.

The police also found illegal tobacco and a plant called khat, which is believed to have stimulating effects.

The 41-year-old person who owns a store has been charged with selling weapons and illegally moving them around.
