WESTPORT — A Post Road East smoke shop, cited last month for illegal sales of cannabis products, was again found to have marijuana and related merchandise in stock during a police raid this week.

The Savvy Smoker, 940 Post Road East, which does not have a state license to sell cannabis products — also prohibited under town zoning regulations — allegedly had inventory that included “pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes, canisters of THC flower, THC resin products, THC vape cartridges and THC edible products” found during a Tuesday raid, according to a police statement Wednesday.

The merchandise was seized as a search warrant was carried out Tuesday by Westport police and agents from the state Drug Control Division.

A raid at the shop March 11 resulted in seizure of similar substances as part of a continuing investigation into the unlicensed sale of cannabis products as well as sales to minors.

At the time, Mohemed Zeine Hedimy, 24, of Brooklyn, N.Y., a sales associate at the shop, was charged with illegal sale/manufacture of cannabis.

The latest raid is the fourth enforcement action taken against Savvy Smoker.

Last April, the shop’s manager, Omar Aliyhry, 29, of Bronx, N.Y., was charged with selling one kilogram or more of cannabis and conspiracy to sell one kilogram or more of cannabis, police said.

And in December 2023, the shop was raided by local and state authorities and found to be illegally selling marijuana products, vapes and other unlicensed merchandise, according to the report at the time.
