Several masked gunmen forced their way into a Spring Valley marijuana dispensary late Tuesday night, disarmed the guard and robbed the place, authorities said.

No one was injured, and the robbers escaped before sheriff’s deputies got to High Society pot shop on Troy Street near Sweetwater Road.

Websites that list the locations and product prices for dispensaries around the region show the shop’s hours of operation from 8 a.m. to midnight.

The robbery was reported about 11:15 p.m., sheriff’s Sgt. Karla Menzies said.


She said the armed guard and one employee were inside when three to five men, at least some wearing masks and carrying guns, came in. They took the guard’s pistol and shoved cash, marijuana and cannibas products into bags.

They left in an older, dark SUV, Menzies said. Deputies found several packaged products from the dispensary in the parking lot.

Investigators have not yet viewed security video of the holdup, Menzies said.

The dispensary shares a portable bungalow-type building with an office for Cruise America RV rentals and sales.
