Police investigate suspected illegal marijuana growing operation near Bellaire

HOUSTON – On Renwick Drive, near Bissonnet, a multi-agency police raid happened Thursday night.

Bellaire Police stated via Facebook they were part of the team investigating a suspected illegal marijuana operation and that arrests were pending.

Bellaire PD’s Facebook post was later removed.

KPRC 2 made it to the scene of the search warrant execution and noticed people in hazmat suits and a big bag of something being removed from the unmarked building.

But by Friday morning at the very same place, a business called Edwards Family Marijuana Dispensary, it was back in business, with a filled parking lot and steady stream of customers.

Their unmarked building at 7556 Renwick is one of three Edwards Family Marijuana Dispensaries in Houston.

Edwards Family Dispensary bills itself as a medical marijuana dispensary, the only kind that’s legal in Texas.

Their marijuana selection is even available for order online for pickup or delivery.

The Renwick storefront, one of three, is also seemingly operating within 1,000 feet of Braeburn Elementary School. Nearby residents have certainly noticed the traffic.

“Go by this place and you would think you are at a Chik fil a drive through. There are so many cars going through that they need traffic directors. It is like a turnstile,” a nearby resident told KPRC2.

The Houston Police Department also had several units at the scene Thursday night. Friday, an HPD spokesman said he could not talk about the warrant service, other than to say the Houston Police Department assisted another agency.
