“It’s not worth it. You’re going to get caught. You’re going to go to prison for a long time,” said Lindo.

It happened early Wednesday morning, the same day another dispensary in Rensselaer county was burglarized. Lindo and other owners say accessing their product is not as easy as it may seem.

“It’s not out, they will never get to it. It’s secured. Don’t do it. You’re going to go to prison for all these damages you’re making, and you’re getting nothing out of it,” said Lindo.

That’s because dispensaries, like 420Bliss and Stage One Dispensary, have products locked up in a vault.
