4 arrested in Seattle pot shop robbery

Seattle police said four people were arrested after a pot shop robbery in the Belltown neighborhood.

SEATTLE - A Seattle pot shop is cleaning up after a smash-and-grab burglary early Wednesday morning.

The Seattle Police Department said officers responded to a report of a commercial burglary on Blanchard Street in the Belltown neighborhood at 2:28 a.m.

When FOX 13 crews arrived at the scene, the Have a Heart storefront was damaged.

Officers say five suspects crashed a car into the building, stole items from the dispensary and fled in a separate vehicle. Witnesses also reported multiple passersby entering the store and taking items from inside the store, according to SPD.

Seattle Police arrested four suspects: two who hid inside the building, and two who were arrested after a brief chase on-foot.

The men, ages 29, 39, 57 and 61, were taken into custody for second-degree burglary. Three of the four suspects were booked into King County Jail, as SPD says one suspect was denied booking by jail staff.

One of the suspects had a $4,000 warrant for trespass and theft, and another had a $500 theft warrant, according to police.

This case remains under investigation.
