Nearly $1,400 worth of marijuana stolen from DC shop

CAUGHT ON CAMERA: DC Dispensary "Blunt Sluts" robbed

A cannabis dispensary in Adams Morgan was robbed just months after opening its doors.

WASHINGTON - A suspect pretending to be a customer robbed a DC marijuana store this weekend, getting away with more than $1,000 worth of product.

What we know:

The incident was captured on security cameras inside Blunt Sluts Cannabis Club on 18th Street NW around 6 p.m. on Sunday, January 18th.

A guy walks in wearing a bright yellow jacket and shows his ID, registers for a medical card through ABCA, waits patiently while others are in line ahead of him. He even commented on how great the music was, workers said.

When the suspect gets to the counter, he asks a couple questions, smells the cannabis and then quickly puts on a mask before flashing a gun, the employee said, and running off with two large jars of marijuana, worth about $1,500.

"No one was expecting it, so it was upsetting, but hopefully we can continue to do what we do here, which is be a great business in the community helping people find relief and push forward our fem-focused mission," said Shelby Fountain, co-owner of Blunt Sluts.

The dispensary opened two months ago - taking more than a year to become licensed in the District.

Their focus is on catering to women and the LGBTQ community in the area - but will happily serve anyone, given they go through their security checks.

"It's definitely scary when anybody is in that situation, you're just trying to come to work and make a living and that's all," Fountain said.

The thief didn't take anything but cannabis - leaving behind a giant bowl of cash tips on the counter.

The dispensary owners said their workers followed all safety protocols, and they are adding even more security measures in place.

DC Police do have a report on file and reported that as of Monday evening, an arrest had not been made.
