The Hoboken Police Department Street Crimes Unit had been looking into Hoboken Exotica, at 521 Washington St. since February, after numerous complaints from residents, police said.

Officers conducted a series of undercover purchases before making the arrests, police said.

“The sale and use of unregulated cannabis and illicit drugs has been prevalent across the state,” said Chief of Police Steven Aguiar. “Thank you to the community for coming forth to report the illegal sale of cannabis and to the hard-working men and women of the police department for their thorough investigation.”
