Durango’s marijuana shops are stepping up their security precautions after Rocky Mountain High was robbed last weekend.
Retail stores and medical dispensaries are investing in additional cameras and panic buttons along with staff training.
Security concerns have long surrounded pot shops because many accept only cash payments. The worries were heightened after a robbery at Rocky Mountain High, where an armed man escaped with about $3,000 in cash after tying up employees on Jan. 31.
