A group of armed thieves robbed a small medical marijuana grow-op in Hope, B.C., early Thursday, police say.
Three masked men carrying a gun and two knives entered the residence on St. Elmo Road, surprising a man and woman inside, according to Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop.
One man held the couple captive while the other two took an undisclosed amount of marijuana. They then took off in a vehicle, but the victims were unable get a description of it.
The victims described the thieves as one larger man and two of average build, but police said they would likely stand out to residents of the small town east of Vancouver.
"The individuals likely would have seemed out of place in the small community of Hope and police are hoping that someone may have seen them," said Dunlop.
Anyone with tips about the incident was asked to call police.
"Those who have the legal authority to grow and possess medical marijuana should be selective about who they share that information with," warned Dunlop.
