Violent Robbery At Medical Pot Dispensary Caught On Camera

DENVER (CBS4) - Surveillance video shows the distress during a violent armed robbery last week at a Denver medical marijuana dispensary.

Shortly after 9 a.m. last Wednesday four men broke into the High St Cannabis Station near the intersection of East 14th Avenue and High Street.

The owner said one man ordered a female employee to the ground, then fired two shots at another worker who tried to run into the alley. The shots missed, and the robbers ran out with edibles and hash oil.

"Somebody got shot or I thought it was a crash or something like that," said neighbor Oscar Saucedo.

He saw two of the suspects get out of a dark blue Nissan Armada. He said the crime has rocked the neighborhood.

"Unsafe I guess. The dispensary is right in the neighborhood, near the houses, there's a lot of children around here," Saucedo said.

The group of suspects includes a white male with two teardrop tattoos near his left eye, two black males and a white or Hispanic man with a large tattoo near his left eye.

With no arrests made, Saucedo and his neighbors are worried the bandits may soon return.

He said it's "Pretty scary, 'cause they might be robbing the houses too."

The High St Cannabis Station added armed security guards during the day.
