LAWRENCE, Mich. (WOOD) — Three men were arrested and one man is still at large following an early Sunday morning break-in at a dispensary in Lawrence.
Around 3:30 a.m., deputies with the Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office were sent to True Leaf Dispensary, located at 265 Crandall Pkwy, after the owner saw multiple people inside the building on the company’s surveillance cameras.
When deputies arrived, they saw people bringing out bags of marijuana and other products to their vehicle. When they saw the deputies, they took off back inside. Three people were able to leave through a back door and run into the woods.
