Break-in at Oakanna cannabis dispensary

Oakland police are investigating a break in at Oakanna cannabis dispensary on Lakeshore Avenue.

OAKLAND, Calif. - Oakanna cannabis dispensary was broken into early Wednesday morning, with weed products seen strewn all over the sidewalk along Lakeshore Avenue.

Video at the scene shows Oakland police responding to the dispensary, located just in front of Trader Joe's, just before 4 a.m.

Oakland police said that several people in multiple cars arrived at the shop, and one of the drivers rammed into the building before stealing merchandise.

No one was inside by the time police arrived, as all the drivers and suspects had fled.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the OPD Burglary Section at (510) 238-3951 or send police photos or video to cidvideos@oaklandca.gov.

Breaking into cannabis dispensaries is not uncommon.

Two weeks ago, surveillance video captured the moment an SUV, with a chain attached to its rear, tore open the front iron gate of Cannabis Cultures located at 32nd Avenue and Judah Street in San Francisco's Sunset District.

And in May, video showed 12 suspects ramming a car into a marijuana dispensary in Watsonville.
