A Lake Country cannabis store has been open less than a month and already, it has been the target of a break and enter.

RCMP were called to the Starbuds store in the 11000 block of Oceola Road shortly after 7 a.m. on Thursday when staff discovered a break-in that occurred overnight.

According to RCMP Communications Officer Jesse O’Donaghey, surveillance video shows two suspects smashed the front glass door to gain entry.

The suspects, who were wearing hoodies, bulky jackets, and gloves made off with accessories products and an undisclosed amount of cash.

Police are asking the public to report any suspicious activity they may have seen in the area during the early morning hours of August 23.

Witnesses or information about the break-in can contact the Lake Country RCMP at 250-766-2288 or report anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
