The Woods was burglarized this morning

Upscale cannabis dispensary The Woods was robbed this morning, according to owner Jay Handel. 

Photos and video he shared show the windows broken and decor strewn about. It was not revealed what was stolen or what the value of the items was. 

Handel provided the following statement to WEHOonline exclusively:

“As we approach election day, we asked the question about how safe is West Hollywood. The current administration originally. Cutback funding for the Sheriff in West Hollywood. Crime continue to go up. West Hollywood continues to fund the block ambassadors. While they may be good at giving people directions they are not the answer to public safety. Monday morning at 2:30 AM The Woods was burglarized. The front window smashed and product stolen from inside the dispensary. In and out with no problem. Sheriff’s response was good but that’s reactive. Not proactive. I as a business. As a business owner in West Hollywood urgent everyone to look at the candidates carefully and see those who are pro public safety as now is the worst time to promote those who promoted sheriff cuts, while crime is increasing.”

No Honor Among Thieves. The Woods is owned by Devon Wheeler and Jay Handal who got his start in the cannabis business by defrauding the owners of Grace and stealing their location after Devon Wheeler tried to strangle and me.

I don’t know if Woods has a security system, and I also can’t believe that, given where Woods is situated, there was no immediate response. W T F is going on with this city?.

Get rid of Erickson. Don’t elect Hang. Get rid of Byers ASAP. Vote for Block, Nickel, Cockeram. Save Fountain and demand speed traps. Ban dispensaries. Hire deputies. Discourage heterosexist encroachment. Get commercial rent control. Jail Moneybags Overstreet. Save WeHo.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Saw a homeless/transient pleasuring themself at the entrance to Pavillions this morning. The stores don’t even bother to call for assistance anymore from the ambassadors or cough authorities. Even sitting in Starbucks lately you never know what character(s) may walk in and cause chaos.

This is awful.

Mr Handel, sorry to be the one to inform you, but policing is almost always reactive.

Crimes of this nature are a worldwide issue, and definitely a US issue, so blaming it on CC, when the cops have been losing members of their force for years with slow replacements, is also reactive.

Actually, most crimes are not on the rise, but decreasing.

How long did it take and how many sheriffs showed up?

In John Erickson’s Weho, he feels completely safe. Vote him out.
