    Norfolk police last week have seized more than 220 pounds of marijuana that was delivered to a grocery store in the city.

    The police said on Friday (3) that they responded to a tip tip about a suspicious package and raided Berkley Supermarket at 201 E. Berkley Avenue around 1:40 p.m. on Wednesday (1).

    Investigators discovered the package contained marijuana, which they said is estimated to be just less than £1million in value, stated local reports.

    Police did not share how they tracked down the suspects, but said they arrested 32-year-old Lichuang Dai, and 32-year-old Jianfeng Ma and charged them with penalties for sale, gift, distribution or possession with intent to sell, give or distribute marijuana (which is a felony for more than five pounds) and transporting controlled substances into the Commonwealth.  

    No other details in the case have been released, but police said the investigation is ongoing. Both men are being held at Norfolk City Jail without bond.
