2 tried to burglarize pot dispensary: cops

Two people were arrested early Sunday while attempting to burglarize a newly opened cannabis dispensary on Weed Street in Goose Island, police said.

About 12:25 a.m., officers responded to a burglary in progress at the Windy City Cannabis location at 923 W. Weed St., according to Chicago police. Two people were then detained, one of whom was found with “burglary tools in his possession.” Felony charges were pending against both suspects, police said.

Steve Weisman, the company’s chief executive, said nothing was stolen during the “unsuccessful break-in attempt.”

“We’re working with the Chicago Police Department on their ongoing investigation,” added Weisman.
