Metro Police arrested seven people Wednesday who face a combined 78 felony charges in connection with suspected illegal marijuana storefronts, officials said.

During the raids, police seized 28.6 pounds of marijuana, 52 pounds of marijuana edible items, 1.1 pounds of hashish and 454 marijuana plants. The plants have an estimated street value of $1.2 million, while the 28.6 pounds of marijuana has a value of $86,000, police said.

The arrests capped a four-month investigation after search warrants were executed at five locations: Completely Legal 1.0, Perfect Grow and Preferred Medical Marijuana, housed in suites at 3655 S. Durango Drive; and Completely Legal 2.0 at 6401 N. Durango Drive. The fifth location was within a Summerlin residential area at 3390 Antique Rose Drive, police said.

Authorities also confiscated a 2007 Mercedes CLK 350 and a combined $100,000 from the five locations, police said.

Police said the storefronts were selling strains of marijuana called AK-47, fecal, green crack and OG skunk.

The following suspects face a variety of charges, including trafficking marijuana and selling marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school: Kyle Lair, 26, of Las Vegas; Jacob Lill, 24, of Las Vegas; Anna Martinez, 20, of Las Vegas; Lisa Roth, 53, of Englewood, Colo.; Michael Savino, 25, of Las Vegas; Edmund Schroback, 32, of Denver; and Richard Wheaton, 26, of Las Vegas.
