Investigation underway into stolen medical marijuana
IRON MOUNTAIN — Earlier in the week, a legal marijuana grow operation was robbed by people impersonating DEA Agents.
Medical Marijuana is legal in Michigan. Caregivers are legally allowed to grow and distribute medical marijuana to up to five medical marijuana patients. Some of his customers’ plants were stolen Wednesday. The last 48 hours have been tough for the medical marijuana community in Iron Mountain.
“Everyone right now is scared – as far as customers go and friends – that this could happen to them too,” he said.
Investigation into the incident is ongoing. Fraser is well known in the community. His shop has seen appreciation in the last few days.
“But actually, sales and business here in the last couple of days, have been extremely well,” said Fraser. “There were over 500 shares of my original post on Facebook, and since then, we’ve had a lot of support from the community.”
Fraser encourages anyone who has information to come forward…tips can be left anonymously with the Iron Mountain Police Department or with Dave himself.
“The police want everybody to know that medical marijuana growers who are legal will not be condemned. They want them to come forward and not feel as though they can’t. If people aren’t spreading information, there’s no way that they can catch these people. Any information right now would greatly help the investigation,” added Fraser.
