Cannabis dispensary burglarized overnight

FORT SUMNER — De Baca County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a burglary in the early morning hours of July 19 at the Outlaw Herbs cannabis dispensary.

About $2,000 in marijuana product was reported stolen in the burglary. The business has been open since June 22.

According to DBSO reports, owner Joe Eddleman was alerted to an alarm at his business by his security monitoring company at approximately 2:45 a.m. Noting a footprint on top of an air conditioning unit on the south side of the building, Eddleman found the AC unit and the door frame it was mounted in had been pushed in to allow access and called De Baca Communications.

In reviewing security footage, two individuals were seen. Sheriff’s deputies have reviewed the footage and are collecting video from other area businesses as part of the investigation.

“This is frustrating because this is a new business in our community which has invested a great deal of time, effort and money,” said Sheriff Chad Roybal.
