Officers from the 88th Precinct are looking for three men who held up a Clinton Hill weed shop on Feb. 9, stealing $5,500 worth of assorted cannabis products.
The owner of Fulton Exotic World reported that three men entered the store at around 8:20 p.m. when one of the men then pulled out a silver pistol and pointed it in the direction of the worker behind the counter.
The other two perps proceed to take $700 in cash from the register before helping themselves to $5,500 worth of CBD gummies and CBD hemp flower pre-rolled joints.
The men, who were not wearing gloves during the robbery, fled on foot down Fulton Street. Cops are hoping to trace the men once the store’s security camera footage has been reviewed.
