Dramatic Video Shows Botched Robbery at Pot Dispensary SANTA FE SPRINGS-- Police have released dramatic surveillance video as they search for a pair of suspects involved in a botched robbery at a medical marijuana dispensary.
It happened at AP Natural Solutions located in the 9800 block of Alburtis Avenue in Santa Fe Springs on August 10, as first reported by the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.
The suspects posed as customers to gain entry to the business. The surveillance video shows the men signing a guest sheet. Once inside, one of the suspects pulled a gun and pointed it at the security guard. The second suspect grabbed the guard's gun and the two began to struggle, according to Whittier police.
Several shots were fired into the metal security door when the suspects found out they were locked inside the business. When the couldn't get out, the suspects then threatened the guard and forced him to unlock the door. They got away without any cash or marijuana, but did flee the scene with the guard's gun, police said.
The guard was hurt during the incident, but it's unclear if he was taken to the hospital or the extent of his injuries.

When someone pulls a gun on you, do not fight back! To protect your family YES, but to protect the money or goods at your work place? Not worth dying for! Let them take what they want! This guy got lucky! Glad he's ok..

I had time to grab a beer, walk the dog and take a piss before the "buffering" was over but quality vid nonetheless. That guard is either brave or insane or both, could have got killed.

The guard is just lucky that dude with the gun wasn't evil enough to kill him. Usually a vid like this ends with the gunman standing over the wounded security guard and putting a few bullets in his head.

Was that a phone he pulled out first? Anyways, he left it on the desk right behind the cop's laptop. Dumbass criminals. LOL!

Well nice job I suppose since noone got hurt... but if you aren't going to disarm the guy with the gun I would suggest just backing away and caliing 911 instead of risking an accidental discharge and getting yourself killed :)

Never seen it done that way. Usually at a MMD its one customer in the room at a time. No exceptions.

I can see several mistakes here:
1. suspects should be un-armed before entering the police room.
2. only 1 person should be in the room at a time.
3. in situations like this; never ever fight-back especially if they are more than one armed persons!
this police man really really lucky !
