Cannabis Delivery

#007 Robbery

At 8:19 a.m., a marijuana delivery driver called 911 to report that when he arrived to

complete his delivery at an apartment complex on Bidwell Dr., he was approached by a male

suspect. The suspect asked the driver if he was delivering marijuana, then told the victim he

had a gun. He stole an ounce of marijuana, estimated at $200, from the victim. The

investigation revealed the suspect arranged the delivery using his cell phone which officers

quickly traced to an apartment nearby. The 23 year old suspect was contacted and arrested

without incident after a positive identification. He was booked at Santa Rita Jail. As a

reminder, all marijuana dispensaries are illegal in the City of Fremont, including delivery

companies.
