(WSBTV.com) Twelve Carrollton, GA businesses have been cited after police say they sold kratom products to an underage buyer during an undercover operation.
According to the Carrollton Police Department, the department’s Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) Unit conducted a months-long investigation targeting businesses suspected of selling kratom to individuals under the legal age of 21.
Police said City Hall personnel provided a list of businesses believed to carry kratom products. Undercover officers then attempted purchases at those locations using a buyer under the age of 21.
During the operation, officers say 12 businesses sold kratom to the underage individual. In each case, the store clerk who completed the transaction was cited, which police say is consistent with enforcement practices for age-restricted sales violations.
