An attempted robbery at a pot shop in Washington state was stopped after a nearby business owner confronted the burglars and sprayed one of the suspects with bear spray, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies responded to a burglary at a marijuana shop in Evertt around 3 a.m. Monday.

Surveillance video showed three Kias entering the parking lot of the shop. The driver of one of the vehicles attempted to break into the business by ramming into the side of the shop.

According to officials, a man who works at a business behind the pot shop heard the disturbance and discovered the burglary in progress and used bear spray on at least one of the suspects.
