DETROIT (FOX 2) - A marijuana dispensary on Detroit's west side has a big hole in the building after thieves tried to use a U-Haul truck to get into the building early Wednesday.
According to George Brikho, the owner of The Jazz Cannabis Club on Telegraph near McNichols, he received a phone call from the alarm company around 4:45 a.m. about a U-Haul and SUV at the business. He told the alarm company to dispatch police, and while police were on their way, the suspects slammed the truck into the building.
Nothing was taken, but the building is now left with a giant hole in the wall.
"For me to make a claim, it's going to raise my insurance, so I'm just better off fixing it myself," Brikho said.
Brikho said it's the second time his business has recently been hit by thieves trying to get to his inventory. About a month ago, a group used sledgehammers to try to break into Jazz. He said he believes the four people involved in Wednesday's attempt with the U-Haul are the same people who vandalized the dispensary a month ago.
The suspects got away.
