There, they discovered six and a half pounds of marijuana, estimated to have a street value of $6,500. Two men and one woman were taken into custody and are being questioned by officers. Police are also on the hunt for two armed robbers who targeted a phone card vendor.

They robbed him of an undetermined amount of cash, an assortment of phone cards, and his green Honda Civic before making their getaway. Police are appealing to members of the public who may have any information regarding this incident to contact police.
