Pot shop burglars caught on camera; police need help IDing them

Aberdeen police are looking for three men who were seen on camera in a burglary at a recreation marijuana store.

Officers were dispatched to an alarm at Cannabis 21 at 1000 East Wishkah Street in Aberdeen at 4:19 a.m. Thursday.

They arrived to find that the glass front door appeared to have been shattered with a large rock, which was found just inside.

While investigating the scene, a .40-caliber Smith & Wesson shell casing was located on the floor of the front room.

The store’s surveillance video showed two men entering the building at about 4:17 a.m.

A third male stayed outside but was seen firing a gun into the building. The video shows all three leaving.

The three suspects appear to be white, wearing zip-up hooded sweatshirts, dark colored pants and tennis shoes. Their faces were covered with masks.

Police say the case may be linked to another burglary that occurred shortly before the Cannabis 21 burglary.

Anyone with information is asked to call Aberdeen police at 360-533-3180.
