Security footage captured at **0:01 caught on camera** shows a masked individual creeping through the shadows. By **0:02, a burglary suspect hauling a safe out of a cannabis dispensary** is clearly visible. The event happened at Grade A Dropouts, a dispensary off Shaver near Southmore. According to reports, the suspect broke in early last Friday morning and made off with a safe containing an undisclosed amount of cash. What makes this **burglary** unusual is that it’s not a case police are actively investigating  the owner declined to press charges. How the Suspect Got Inside Investigators say it appears the suspect entered the dispensary by first breaking into an adjoining hair salon, then cutting through its shared interior wall. The intruder even went through another wall leading from the dispensary’s bathroom to a separate room. Video shows him opening drawers before escaping with the safe. Alarm and Police Response While an alarm may not have triggered immediately, officers responded soon after one did go off. When police arrived, the front door was ajar and an audible alarm was sounding. They cleared the business but found the suspect had already fled. Pasadena Police public information officer Darby Slack confirmed the store owner reported only the safe was missing. After further discussion with officers, however, the owner said he did not wish to pursue charges. “If we don’t have a willing victim that’s wanting to pursue charges, there’s not anything that we can do in regard to a criminal investigation,” Slack explained. There are exceptions in family violence cases, but not for a **burglary** like this one. Owner Calls for Accountability In an email, the dispensary’s owner confirmed his decision, writing: “Instead, we are asking the suspect to take responsibility and pay for the damages caused to our business. We believe accountability can bring closure, and we hope the suspect does the right thing by making amends.” Meanwhile, the adjoining hair salon owner was left to repair her own damages and has filed a separate police report. This incident highlights how vulnerable small businesses can be to **burglary**, especially cash-heavy operations like dispensaries. Grade A Dropouts has since reopened with “a little less green” but the case remains a reminder of the importance of strong security and clear policies.     [by Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlKzgKpqMTw) [Cannabis Laws](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/cannabis-laws) ![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=200&height=200&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) #### [Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) At 420 Intel, we cover cannabis legalization news throughout the world, offer reliable information for cannabis business owners, detail technological advances that impact the marijuana industry, cover marijuana rallies from across the globe, and everything in between. - - - [Recreational Marijuana News](https://420intel.com/blog/tag/recreational-marijuana-news) [![New York's Fresh Cannabis Rules Unveiled!](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/elle-cartier-K2t31q00mUE-unsplash.jpg?width=550&height=395&name=elle-cartier-K2t31q00mUE-unsplash.jpg)](https://420intel.com/blog/new-yorks-fresh-cannabis-rules-unveiled) - [![Buzz](https://420intel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png?width=80&height=80&name=Buzz-No%20Outline-2.png) Buzz](https://420intel.com/blog/author/buzz) - 11 September 2025 #### [New York's Fresh Cannabis Rules Unveiled!](https://420intel.com/blog/new-yorks-fresh-cannabis-rules-unveiled) Brooklyn Center is the latest Minnesota city to crack down on public cannabis consumption by...
