An illegal west-end pot shop has not let a recent string of robberies run it out of business.

The CannaGreen shop at 102 McEwen Ave., off Richmond Road, was robbed for the third time in two months this past weekend. Late Monday morning, the front glass door of the business remained shattered, evidence of a Saturday night smash and grab.

The vandalized door was propped open, allowing for the scent of pot to emanate from the store that appeared to have patrons coming and going. Two employees — one behind a glass display case and the other behind a wall with a service window where customers receive product from the back room — would not comment on the incident.

“We can’t really say anything, because we don’t know much,” said one employee.

Ottawa police Staff Sgt. Mike Haarbosch of the robbery unit said a passerby reported the latest incident to police Sunday. Haarbosch confirmed the suspects took “various product.”
