Looters Target California Pot Shops, Steal $5 Million Of Product

"Any loss, any blow, is a death blow potentially at this point."


One businesses owner told MJBizDaily that he "knows of 25 or so businesses that got hit" by smash and grab robberies last month.

"I know 25 or so businesses that got hit … and out of all those, the percentage I know that told me that they may not be able to reopen is about 50%," said Tucky Blunt, the owner of Oakland cannabis shop Blunts and Moore. He said his shop was one of those robbed, adding that gangs believe marijuana businesses are sitting on boatloads of cash.

"People think we're sitting on millions and millions of dollars," Blunt said. "We don't have that.

Others say that the spat of robberies could spell financial trouble for impacted pot shops.

"Any loss, any blow, is a death blow potentially at this point," said Nara Dahlbacka, a California consultant who works with several cannabis companies. "There are a lot of businesses that are on the edge right now."
