Kemp’s cannabis is the latest pot store to install barriers following the theft “Crash and Grab”

Seattle – Following two of the most important breaks, one of the most popular and popular Seattle pots added barriers outside its location to prevent robbery in any future offenses.

Kemp’s cannabis, owned by the supersonic legend in Seattle, Shawn Kemp, installed several large flowers in front of his 1st Ave store in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle.

Each plant box is at least three meters wide and five meters long, fortified at their concrete bases.

Kemp’s cannabis is the latest Seattle pot store that has installed barriers outside its location due to growing and growing threat, represented by thieves who deliberately collapses in enterprises in an attempt to enter these stores.

“It is just shit to see (these crimes) is happening,” said Carter Wilson, KEMP’s cannabis manager. “You would think people would respect what we do, but not.”

The additional products come while Kemp’s cannabis suffered two major breaks over a month, both cases leading to exorbitant costs of damage, as well as loss of goods.

“It’s sad, because we work so much (here), it feels like a second house,” Wilson said. “It is the same feeling as if you were gone and see someone breaking in your home.”

In January a thief used an ax and what It seemed to be the hydraulic rescue tool known by firefighters as the “jaws of life” To pass through the glass and gates of Kemp’s cannabis. Once inside, the thief went to the ATMs where he was seen open with the jaws of life to remove the money. Then he transported the money to his vehicle before returning again to grab goods, break the display boxes and take more items. The surveillance video showed that the theft was in the business for 20 minutes.

Less than a month later the store was the scene of a second high profile robbery. In this case, the suspects used a Hyundai to make the store’s door. The surveillance video inside the business showed several people who enter with bags that they then filled with goods. After leaving the building, they entered a second vehicle and fled. The workers in the store said that the stolen product and the damages totaled $ 25,000.

According to the perimeter security consultant, Rob Reiter, one of the main reasons why “Crash and Grab” cases happens at the pot stores is that the workers of the pot stores are armed against the danger. As a result, he said that scams avoid confronting by committing crimes when no one is around.

“You take your pickup, you blow through the doors, you take it on the foundation … You are in 35, 40 seconds,” Reiter said.

By estimating Reiter, five cases “Crash and Grab” is now happening at national level every night.

Reiter told Komo News in some cities like Houston, Texas, asked the shops to place the ATMs behind the shops or to install Bollds in front of the entrances.
