Two smoke shops in Brooklyn Heights were robbed in separate incidents, resulting in significant losses in cannabis products and damage to the stores. The incidents involved armed robbers with knives and firearms, causing thousands of dollars in losses.
Reports show a 139% increase in robbery incidents in Downtown Brooklyn's 84th Precinct compared to the same period last year. Surveillance footage is being reviewed by the police to identify the suspects involved in these armed robberies.
The rise in smoke shop robberies in Brooklyn has become a concerning trend, with previous incidents targeting similar establishments. The limited number of legal adult-use cannabis dispensaries in Brooklyn adds to the vulnerability of these businesses.
