A medical marijuana dispensary located outside the City of Industry was the target of an armed hold-up last night, and netted the pair of perps approximately $5,000 in cash, according to the Daily Breeze. The suspects, both men, threatened one employee of the La Puente Clinic, though no one was ultimately injured. "One of the robbers also grabbed a purse from a worker," notes abc7. Anyone with information about the robbery was urged to call the Industry Station at (626) 330-3322.
