Two Albuquerque Dispensaries Burglarized in Separate Incidents

Albuquerque, NM – The cannabis community in Albuquerque is on high alert after two local dispensaries were targeted in separate burglary incidents last week.

Frost Station Dispensary, located at 700 Av. Dolores Huerta, was broken into last week. During the break-in, display cases were smashed, though it remains unclear if any money or cannabis products were taken. The incident has left the dispensary’s staff and patrons shaken, as they assess the damage and work to enhance their security measures.

In a more violent incident, R. Greenleaf dispensary was robbed at gunpoint on Saturday evening just before closing time. The robbers made away with a small amount of money and cannabis flower. The robbery has heightened concerns about safety among the staff and customers, as well as the broader cannabis industry in the area.

Both incidents have been reported to local authorities, who are currently investigating. The Albuquerque Police Department has urged anyone with information about either incident to come forward.

These burglaries highlight the ongoing security challenges faced by dispensaries and underscore the need for heightened vigilance and enhanced security protocols. As the cannabis industry continues to grow in Albuquerque, ensuring the safety of both staff and customers remains a top priority.

Local businesses and community members are rallying around the affected dispensaries, offering support and solidarity during this challenging time. The incidents serve as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities faced by cannabis retailers and the importance of community cooperation in maintaining a safe environment.

For now, both dispensaries are focused on recovering from the incidents and implementing additional security measures to prevent future occurrences.
