September 8, 2023 – Ventura County Sheriff’s Office officials report that on September 5, 2023, the Thousand Oaks Police Department’s Directed Enforcement Team conducted a marijuana delivery operation, in an attempt to purchase marijuana from state licensed delivery services operating within the city of Thousand Oaks, but not permitted to do so.  Deputies from the Thousand Oaks Directed Enforcement Unit have cited three delivery drivers and marijuana dispensaries for delivering marijuana products without a permit to the city of Thousand Oaks.

The three businesses that delivered marijuana products to the city of Thousand Oaks when not permitted to do so are as follows:

Divine Wellness Center, 7246 Eton Ave., Canoga Park

Strain Balboa Caregivers, 21627 Devonshire St., Chatsworth
