Weed shop co-owned by Woody Harrelson and Bill Maher burglarized.

Surveillance footage has captured a brazen robbery at the Woods WeHo cannabis dispensary in West Hollywood, which counts actor Woody Harrelson and comedian Bill Maher among its owners. The incident, which took place at approximately 4:30 a.m. local time on Saturday, involved five masked individuals who swiftly broke into the establishment, according to information provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The video footage, aired by ABC affiliate KABC, shows the suspects entering the dispensary and making off with bags of merchandise. The Woods WeHo has branded itself as an “oasis” that fuses a lush consumption lounge with an environmentally sophisticated design, reflecting the growing trend of upscale cannabis retail spaces.

Co-owner Michael Berman confirmed to KABC that no injuries occurred during the incident. While the robbery left a significant amount of mess due to broken glass, the overall damage to the interior of the store was reportedly minimal, and no serious harm came to anyone present at the time.

As the story unfolds, Harrelson and Maher have yet to publicly comment on the incident, despite inquiries made by Media News Source representatives. The cinema and comedy world figures have garnered attention not just for their professional endeavors but also for their involvement in the burgeoning cannabis industry.

Elliot Lewis, who operates a local rival cannabis shop, shared footage of the robbery on Instagram, asserting that the same group of thieves was responsible for a subsequent robbery at the ERBA dispensary in Santa Monica later that weekend. Lewis expressed sympathy for the victims of both heists, underscoring the alarming trend of cannabis-related crimes in the area. He likened the situation to another routine weekend in Los Angeles, where crime rates related to the burgeoning cannabis market have been on the rise.

The Woods WeHo, which spans an impressive 8,000 square feet, opened its doors in 2022 and has attracted significant attention, not only due to its high-profile ownership but also for its stylish atmosphere and innovative offerings. The involvement of other notable figures like former tennis star John McEnroe further highlights the intersection of celebrity culture and the evolving cannabis landscape in California, where dispensaries are becoming increasingly prevalent.

As local law enforcement investigates the matter, the incident raises questions about security protocols in cannabis retail establishments and the ongoing challenges they face in ensuring the safety of both employees and customers amidst an environment of rising theft and burglary.
