By DANA SMITH dsmith@tribunemedia.net THREE people are in police custody after officers found more than $6,000 worth of marijuana. Around 8.45pm on Wednesday, Southern Division officers executed a search warrant on an apartment at Ideal Estates. There, they discovered six and a half pounds of marijuana, estimated to have a street value of $6,500. Two men and one woman were taken into custody and are being questioned by officers. Police are also on the hunt for two armed robbers who targeted a phone card vendor. The vendor was stationed near the corner of Baillou Hill Road and Malcolm Road shortly after midnight last Thursday when he was approached by two men, both armed with handguns. They robbed him of an undetermined amount of cash, an assortment of phone cards, and his green Honda Civic before making their getaway. Police are appealing to members of the public who may have any information regarding this incident to contact police.
