Have A Heart robbery was second incident in last month

The recent armed robbery of the Greenwood recreational cannabis store, Have A Heart at 300 N.W. 85th St. was actually the second issue they’ve had in the last month.

Police arrested two suspects who attempted an armed robbery at the store on August 7. A store employee who called police as he watched the robbery from a security camera monitor at his home tipped them off. The two male suspects, ages 36 and 47, attempted the robbery at around 10:20 p.m. They broke into the store armed with a handgun. The men were wearing masks. They tied up employees, and as they tried to flee with duffle bags filled with cannabis product, police arrived on the scene. The suspects were arrested and booked into the King County Jail for investigation of robbery.

Meanwhile, the store employees managed to free themselves and fled out a back door. They were contacted by police and gave statements. None of the store employees were injured.

Incidentally, the Have A Heart store was burglarized about two weeks before on July 25. According to a Seattle Police report, two suspects broke into the store and pried open three doors in order to get to a storage room. Once inside they ransacked the room and loaded up large duffle bags with cannabis product. The store security manager could not give an accurate estimate on just how much product was stolen.

Robbery detectives are investigating.
