A Detroit dispensary owner is seeking answers after his business was allegedly broken into early Saturday, marking the third time such an incident has occurred in the past year.
Jazz Cannabis Club Owner George Brikho says his alarm company called him just after 6:30 a.m. to let him know police were on their way to the business on Telegraph Road because it had been broken into.
A group of alleged thieves, with nearly $100,000 in products, were gone less than two minutes after the call.
Security footage taken early Saturday appears to show five suspects breaking through a metal garage door and smashing the front entrance before grabbing as much flower as possible.
The store was still open Saturday despite Brikho and his staff spending hours taking inventory of what was lost.
“Financially, it does take a toll on us,” Brikho said. “You can only take so much of a beating before you’re like, ‘what’s going on?’ Us here at the Jazz Club, we’re not a big corporate conglomerate, we’re a small mom and pa shop, and for us to take a hit like this, it’s brutal.”
Brikho is offering a $10,000 reward for help finding the people who allegedly broke in. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Detroit Police Department, Crime Stoppers of Michigan or the Jazz Cannabis Club.
Two weeks ago, suspects allegedly crashed a stolen truck into the side of the store.
In December, the dispensary was vandalized in an attempted robbery. Security footage at that time captured the moment a U-Haul truck crashed into the back of the facility and four people trying to loot anything they could find.
Nothing was stolen in December’s incident, but all four people were able to run from the scene
