Man uses bear spray to stop pot shop thieves in Washington state

Surveillance video shows three Kias swarming a pot shop in Everett, Washington, in an attempted burglary. One suspect was bear sprayed in the face.

An attempted robbery at a pot shop in Washington state was stopped after a nearby business owner confronted the burglars and sprayed one of the suspects with bear spray, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to a burglary at a marijuana shop in Evertt around 3 a.m. Monday.

Surveillance video showed three Kias entering the parking lot of the shop. The driver of one of the vehicles attempted to break into the business by ramming into the side of the shop.
