Robbery at Eagle Rock Medical Marijuana Dispensary?

Eagle Rock Herbal Collective shut down after what appears to be a robbery.

One of the 10 medical marijuana dispensaries in Eagle Rock was evidently the target of a robbery today, according to sources.

The dispensary, called the , was closed down this afternoon and a sign was hung on the front door, indicating the facility wouldn’t open until 6 p.m.  A quick look inside revealed employees struck with shock. A prospective customer outside said he passed by the store, located on 4729 Eagle Rock Blvd., at about 3 p.m. and saw a police car parked in front of the dispensary.

Gregory Beck, a spokesman at the LAPD’s media relations office downtown, said, however, that he had no report of a robbery at the marijuana dispensary. An officer who answered the phone at the LAPD Northeast Division Community Police Station also said he had no report of a robbery but added that the station's watch commander, who had stepped out for the day, might have information about any incident.
