Cannabis, cash stolen in smash-and-grab at North Hollywood dispensary 

A cannabis dispensary in North Hollywood fell victim to a smash-and-grab robbery early Monday morning. 

The business, located on Hartland Street near the intersection of Tujunga Avenue and Vanowen Street, was robbed around 4 a.m., according to preliminary information.  

Video from the scene shows the front entryway to the location was severely damaged. A broken jar on the street left a large quantity of marijuana flower next to the curb in front of the dispensary. 

Police officers were seen speaking with the business owner, who told KTLA that cannabis products and cash were taken from their business, but they did not comment on exactly how much was lost.  

A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson confirmed to KTLA that officers conducted a building search and found a smashed window but no suspects.

“Surveillance video [showed] two males wearing masks took merchandise from the store, loaded it into a white sedan and drove off,” the spokesperson said.

No further details were immediately available.
