Three Seattle marijuana dispensaries burglarized, no suspects

Three North Seattle marijuana dispensaries were burglarized earlier this week, and Seattle police are looking for suspects. However, it’s not clear if the suspects took any pot during the break-ins.

“Bales of weed are a bit harder to inventory than TVs, computers, and other things with serial numbers,” department spokesman Jonah Spagenthal-Lee said in a statement.

The first attempted dispensary burglary was reported shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday

“A witness called 911 after he spotted two men – holding what looked like crowbars – standing at the back door of a pot shop on Northeast 143rd and Greenwood Avenue,” department spokesman Jonah Spagenthal-Lee said in a statement. “When officers arrived, the suspects were gone and the business hadn’t been broken into. However, officers found pry marks around the dispensary’s back door.”

About 11:30 p.m. that evening, burglars broke into another dispensary at Northeast 123rd Street and 15th Avenue Northeast, where they cracked open a display case containing pot cookies and a computer, police said.

“Finally, at about 6 p.m. Monday, burglars smashed open the door of yet another dispensary at Northwest 77th and 15th Avenue Northwest, tried to steal a TV and an Xbox, but left with a computer monitor instead,” Spagenthal-Lee said.

Police said they’re investigating a possible connection in at least two of the cases.
