Lacey police are looking for three men suspected of robbing a cannabis dispensary last month.

The alleged armed robbery occurred on Jan. 3 at Forbidden Cannabis Club on Martin Way East. Police released pictures of two men on Thursday, but indicated a third, not pictured person also took part.

Police describe the suspects as three men who drove off in a red Ford Focus or similar model with after market wheels and tires. Police advise residents not to approach the individuals if they are spotted because they are “considered armed and dangerous.”

Anyone with more information on the people pictured can call Thurston County dispatch at 360-704-2740 or Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477. Callers can reference Lacey case number 2022-0040. People can also text an anonymous tip through the app P3 Tips.

Forbidden Cannabis Club is a family-owned chain of marijuana dispensaries with multiple locations across Washington.
