Authorities seized cash and marijuana Friday morning during a raid at a Jurupa Valley church which is accused of operating as an illegal marijuana dispensary.
The Riverside County District Attorney’s Office confirmed to CBS2 that law enforcement officers raided the Vault Church of Open Faith, located in the 5000 block of Etiwanda Avenue, as part of the DA’s recently created Cannabis Regulation Task Force.
