Gunfire was reported when two men robbed a medical marijuana facility in Mission Hills at gunpoint Friday night.

The two men entered the facility in the Mission Hills Professional Arts building at 15300 Devonshire Street and opened fire, said Los Angeles police Lt. Darryl Grayson.

No one was injured, but the robbers ran with $200 to $300 in cash and an unknown amount of medical marijuana, according to Grayson.

Police surrounded the building, but found that the gunmen had already made their getaway, said Grayson. Police dogs searched but were unable to find the suspects.

Officers handcuffed and detained some employees until police determined that they were not suspects in the robbery, a photographer at the scene reported.

  • mr.j Tuesday, Dec 2 at 10:09 AM FLAG COMMENT it sad to see places like this robbed. There are many patients that need there medications. As far as causing heat because they were robbed. Na man rite aids and cvs's get robbed all the time for meds. restaurants get robbed all the time. They never get any extra help. Unfortunately the media will take incidents like these and find a way to blame medical marijuana facility and not the criminals out robbing the place.
