MONROE, Michigan (WXYZ) — The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating after surveillance video captured a vehicle crashing into the Pure Cannabis Outlet store on Dixie Highway over the weekend, before suspects started a fire inside and rushed out.
The sheriff’s office said they received a report of a vehicle that crashed into the store around 1:04 a.m. on Sunday.
According to the sheriff’s office, when deputies arrived, they found a maroon Jeep Cherokee partially inside the store and fire suppression sprinklers working to extinguish the fire.
