Mar Vista Pot Shop Update: Police Issue Warnings

Police are keeping an eye on any work done on a building at 3472 S. Centinela Ave. after a temporary restraining order was issued.

Contractors working at the location of the planned Mar Vista medical marijuana dispensary last weekend were removing duct work, said David Graham-Caso, spokesman in City Council member Mike Bonin's office, Thursday.

The work prompted a Venice-Mar Vista Patch reader to ask about the status of the pot shop, which presently has a temporary restraining order against its opening at 3472 S. Centinela Ave. 

Graham-Caso said Capt. Brian Johnson of the Los Angeles Police Department's Pacific Division has twice had police on site, and that contractors have been warned that any further action to establish the dispensary will result in arrests.
