Two medical marijuana clinics were closed Tuesday after authorities conducted raids in West Hollywood.
One person was arrested.
Federal agents, LAPD officers and LA County Sheriff's deputies raided Alternative Herbal Health Services and Zen Healing on Santa Monica Boulevard at about 2:10 p.m. The two dispensaries are among four West Hollywood has allowed to operate.
Sarah Pullen of the Drug Enforcement Administration declined to tell the LA Times what led to the raids, what was seized or who was in custody.
The last DEA raid in West Hollywood was in 2007, The Times reported.
In 2009, The U.S. Justice Department said it would not investigate dispensaries that observe California law, even though federal law continues to bar marijuana use.
