Durham Region police are searching for five men after workers at a legal grow-op were robbed at gunpoint Thursday morning.

At 6 a.m. Thursday, one day after legalization, five men with guns stormed a legal outdoor grow-op close to the intersection of Concession Rd. 4 and Highway 12 near Beaverton, Ont., police said.

In a release, police said the thieves forced four workers into a security trailer and tied them up, then stole their personal belongings along with “several garbage bags” full of dried cannabis. They made a getaway in one worker’s personal vehicle.

The workers were able to free themselves around 10 a.m. — four hours after the initial theft — and called the police, who recovered the stolen vehicle, parked a short distance away.

Police are now searching for the five male suspects, and have released detailed descriptions for two of them: one is described as a 40- to 45-year-old white male with a French accent, 5’10” tall and about 140 lbs. with short grey hair.

The other is described as a 32-35-year-old white male, 5’10” tall and about 150 lbs. with short black hair and a full beard.
