Police officers and the New York Sheriff’s Joint Compliance Task Force raided Gelato on 86th Street near Third Avenue Monday.
The store was fined $25,000 after marijuana products were seized, cops said.
The store’s operator was charged with unlawful possession of cannabis and sale of cannabis or cannabis products without a license.
The raid came a day after the New York Post published a story featuring an interview with a Gelato employee.
“That’s nothing new,” the worker told the paper about potential penalties. “That’s always been a possibility of getting raided here. But I’m not going to be put out of a job.”
Cops also raided the shop last year.
