Claremont marijuana dispensary burglarized By Will Bigham, Staff Writer /Article Launched: O1/28/2007 12:00:00 AM PST CLAREMONT -Burglars stole nine marijuana plants after breaking into the city's medical marijuana dispensary, police discovered Friday morning. Police responded at about 7:45 a.m. to Claremont All-Natural Nutrition Aids Buyers Information Sexvices in the 600 block of S..Indian Hill Boulevard, after a city official driving past the location saw that a window had been broken......The controversial dispensary, which has bathed City Hall since it opened in September without a business license, is now coming under closer scrutiny from. city officials, as one central fear -that the business would attract crime -appears to have been realized. "Potentially these dispensaries can serve as a crime magnet in a community," Councilman Corey Calaycay said. "Having a dispensary in town could. put an additional burden on our police, and we already have needs for other public safety priorities in our community." Kruse conceded Saturday that his dispensary was an attraction for criminals, but h.e disputed the suggestion. that it's more of a target than any other business.
