DENVER (AP) -- Colorado marijuana stores operating near schools have until midnight Monday to discontinue sales or face legal action.

U.S. Attorney John Walsh has warned 10 marijuana stores they will be shut down if they do not comply.

Spokesman Jeff Dorschner said Monday officials will not say when law enforcement action would begin.

Walsh says those who do not comply could face prosecution. Walsh says the stores are operating within 1,000 feet of a school, which provides for stiffer penalties.
