Pot shops are targets of smash-and-grabs because they're, typically, cash reliant as it's illegal under federal law to buy those products with credit cards.
Hynes said the stores reacted by adding security guards, restricting entry into shops and limiting the amount of cash on hand at any one time.
“When these crooks are running these cars through businesses, they’re causing tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage and, ultimately, they’re often getting away with less than a few hundred dollars’ worth of product,” Hynes said.The shop owners are left to clean up the damage and repair their business.
Whether it’s an armed robbery or a smash-and-grab, he said, the seemingly relentless crime targeting the industry is taking a toll.
