On April 2, 2025, a significant operation led by law enforcement in the region, including the Martinsburg City Police and Potomac Highlands Task Force, resulted in the execution of search warrants at multiple vape shops across Berkeley, Morgan, and Jefferson counties. This initiative followed an investigation sparked by traffic stops uncovering illegal THC products linked to local stores. Authorities recovered nearly $700,000 worth of illegal goods, alongside cash and firearms. The ongoing investigation raises concerns about the distribution of such products in communities like Martinsburg and Charles Town, with possible legal repercussions on the horizon as prosecutors review the findings.
