4 Men Invade Big Island Home, Steal Marijuana, Cash – Most Popular News Story – KITV Honolulu
HONOLULU — Four men wearing masks broke into a Keeau home Monday and stole marijuana plants and cash, according to Big Island police.It happened at about 3 p.m. in a home in the Hawaiian Paradise Park subdivision.
The men demanded cash and marijuana from a 60-year-old man who lived in the home, police said. The man had a permit for medical marijuana.
One of the men carried a knife, police said. The victim was not injured.
Police said the men were only identified as four local males between the ages of 25 to 30, wearing the masks and long-sleeved shirts.
Medical marijuana patients will continue to be at risk of these home invasion arrests so long as the absurd prohibition of cannabis for healthy people remains. The medical marijuana laws never provided for a way for patients to get their medicine, so many grow their own. The bad guys know that and know there can be about $2,400-$10,000 worth of street weed they can sell from their heist. Does anyone think we’d be less safe if the marijuana was so readily available in a liquor store that it wouldn’t be worth the effort or jail time to threaten and rob a senior citizen?
