(KRON) – A local Fairfield business was shut down by Fairfield police on Friday. After a six-month investigation, police concluded that The Field Gift Shop at West Texas Street and Pennsylvania Street allegedly opened its business with misleading information, police said.
Despite being advertised as a local gift shop, three search warrants turned up two illegally owned handguns (one stolen), marijuana for sale, cocaine and a stolen dirt bike, police said.
“How should we put this bluntly? Unparalleled passion, superior quality? The Field Gift Shop had no passion for our community nor quality in its operations,” Fairfield police said in a statement.

Two men, aged 24 and 29, both from Fairfield, were arrested. Their names were withheld by the police.
Following the investigation, the case was transferred to Faifield’s Code Enforcement Unit (CEU). CEU succeeded in enforcing fines and recommended the revocation of the gift shop’s business license, initiating the process of closing the business due to criminal activity.
Police said the company will be given a fair opportunity to appeal within 15 days, after which they will proceed with closing the store.
