TEEN CALLS COPS AFTER HER POT IS STOLEN
Hey, officer, can you help me get my dope back? A teen called York Region
cops Thursday to report her marijuana had been stolen in a street robbery.
They said the case highlights changes officers have seen among youth since
an Ontario judge ruled in May that there is no legal basis to ban simple
possession of pot.
"They're right in your face about it," Const. Steve Morrell said.
The 18-year-old called police after she was robbed outside Thornhill Public
School on Yonge St.
She told police two men forced her to hand over pot worth about $20. One
man told her he had a gun.
"She reported it (to police) just like it was a stolen bike or Walkman or
purse," Morrell said.
Cops are looking for two suspects.
