Henry County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a welfare check at Point Tobacco & Vape, located at 2854 Virginia Avenue in Collinsville, around 9 a.m. on July 1.
Upon arrival, deputies found the front door of the business unsecured. Inside, they located an individual who appeared to be asleep or unconscious. While checking on the individual’s welfare, deputies observed in plain view a substantial quantity of suspected marijuana, marijuana-based products, and packaging materials commonly used for narcotics distribution.
Based on these findings, investigators obtained a search warrant for the premises. During the search, additional suspected marijuana products were recovered, along with evidence suggesting that individuals had been living inside the store. Investigators also discovered that the business was operating without a valid Henry County business license.
The investigation is ongoing. The suspected marijuana will be sent to the Virginia Department of Forensic Science for analysis.
