Video: VPD asks for help identifying suspect in violent robbery of Vancouver cannabis dispensary

Vancouver police arrest suspect in robbery of Weeds Glass and Gifts store on Victoria Drive

Vancouver police have released a video of an aggressive robbery that occurred on Victoria Drive last November.

The footage captured by a security camera shows a young male charging into a Weeds Glass and Gifts marijuana dispensary. He did not brandish a weapon but physically assaulted two employees.

“After a brief conversation with a female staff member, the video shows the robber jumping onto the counter, assaulting the employee, and stealing product from the shelves. He then allegedly assaults a second staff member just outside of the store as he flees.”

A March 7 media release states that despite the high-quality video and photographs of the man who committed the robbery, the VPD has not been able to identify him. The force is therefore releasing the video and asking for the public’s assistance to locate him.

“We believe the high quality of the video will lead to someone recognizing him, and we’re asking them to call our investigators or Crime Stoppers,” said VPD Constable Jason Doucette quoted in the release.

“The suspect was described as medium- to dark-skinned, 19 to 25 years-old, 5’10” to 5’11” tall, with an athletic build, shaved dark hair, brown eyes, and dark eyebrows.”

Dispensary robberies haven’t been as much of a problem in Vancouver, although another Weeds Glass and Gifts, on Main Street, was robbed in January 2015 and a Stressed and Depressed shop on East 41st Avenue was held up in October 2017.

Vancouver’s storefront dispensaries like the one robbed on November 4 are illegal under federal law. However, that could soon change with Canada on track to legalize recreational-cannabis sales before the end of this year.

Kirk's journey through the digital realm began with lines of code and algorithms dancing in his dreams. Armed with a keyboard and an insatiable curiosity, he embarked on the path of software engineering. However, fate had a smoky twist in store for him. As the ones and zeros swirled around him, Kirk had an epiphany – he realized that he was more interested in the highs and lows of the cannabis industry than debugging lines of code. With a leap of faith that would make a bungee jumper blush, he bid farewell to the world of semicolons and database queries and embraced the intoxicating allure of cannabis journalism. Now, Kirk finds himself navigating a different kind of network, one that's all about buds, trichomes, and terpenes. Armed with a pen that's mightier than a vaporizer and a keen eye for detail, he's on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the green world.
