It was a tough Thanksgiving weekend for family-owned Enlightened Alaska. Owners say the soon-to-be Spenard retail marijuana store was broken into.

“I started noticing things missing. First off, our big new TV that was still in the box,” said Evan Levington co-owner of Enlightened Alaska.

Levington says there was no marijuana at the business since it is not open yet. He said the thief stole things like a TV, paint sprayer and faucet handles.

“It was completely clean nothing was broken, nothing was damaged, and they came in like they knew how to get in,” said Levington.

A tough lesson to learn on small business Saturday. Levington said this sets them back both in their wallet and opening date.

“It hurts a lot because of how much we have already put into this,” said Levington.

The business planned on opening December 17th, but will now be pushed back by a week or two.

Levington said they've been in contact with the Anchorage Police Department, and if you want to submit an anonymous tip to Anchorage Crime Stoppers you can call 561-STOP.

Channel 2 tried to contact Anchorage Police to confirm that the business had been burglarized. A spokeswoman said the department would be unable to answer our questions until Monday.
