COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Cannabis crooks are caught on camera as they try to break into a local medical marijuana facility.

In the video you can see two people try to pry open a steel door for before throwing a rock and eventually giving up.

"It's just a pain on our part because employees could be getting a raise instead of us having to replace a door every six months to a year," Thomas House, of Nature's Way said.

This is the second time in a year that Nature's Way has been hit and just like last time, nothing was stolen.

Security is tight at the shop there are 30 plus security cameras, bullet proof glass separating their front room from the display case, and bankgrade safes holding their product.

"If you do get in here all there is to steal is our furniture, if you really want it," House said.

Marijuana is a big ticket item in Colorado and break-ins have turned into the industry standard.

So Nature's Way has all of their cameras on a live feed with the Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division in hopes the police will catch the crooks that keep taking a crack at their shop.
