As reported by Ana Cabrerra, Channel 7 News-

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Three Fort Carson soldiers were arrested after allegedly breaking into a medical marijuana dispensary, Colorado Springs police said.

Store surveillance video showed three men wearing masks jimmying their way through the back door of Rocky Road Remedies, a dispensary on South Academy Boulevard, at about 2 a.m. Saturday. Once inside, the men tried to leave through the front door, but it was locked and surrounded by bars. They soon found out the back door was locked too.

"The burglars had jimmied the door to the point where they disabled it, so they couldn't get out and we couldn't get in," said Colorado Springs Police Sgt. Mark DeVorss
The would-be burglars were literally trapped.

DeVorss said a police officer responding to a different incident nearby noticed movement inside the dispensary and went to investigate. Police had to use extrication tools to get in and make the arrests.

"It felt good. It's a relief knowing that the suspects are in custody," said dispensary owner Wenze Waddington.

Waddington said he arrived about 15 minutes after his security alarm went off. He said the suspects were already in handcuffs.

7NEWS asked Waddington if he knew the men.

"They had never been patients or had never been in here," Waddington said.

Police identified the suspects as 23-year-old Darius Thomas, 22-year-old Cory Young and 22-year-old Ramone Hollins. All three are active-duty Fort Carson soldiers.

"Fortunately for us, they made it easy for us to capture them and, to their credit, they were compliant with us," said DeVorss.

The three men now face second-degree burglary charges. They remained in jail Sunday, each being held on $10,000 bond.

When 7NEWS contacted Fort Carson, officials wouldn't comment on potential military consequences.

Three U.S. military soldiers were busted early Saturday during an attempt to rob a medical marijuana dispensary in Colorado, local police said.

The bumbling trio, who are active duty soldiers from Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, managed to break into the Rocky Road Remedies facility, but became trapped after the pot shop’s doors locked from the inside, police said.

Security footage of the break-in showed three people dressed in black suits and masks scampering around the shop in a panic, running between rooms, climbing through windows and trying to smash their way out.

Unfortunately for the soldiers, police officers next door on another call were tipped off by the store’s alarm and found the men trapped inside.

Darius Thomas, 23, Cory Young, 22, and Ramone Holling, 22, were arrested on suspicion of second-degree burglary, ABC reported. They are being held on $10,000 bail.

Renze Waddington, the shop’s owner, said the three didn’t snatch anything because he locked all the cash and pot in a safe overnight, Colorado's KDVR-TV reported.

Fort Carson has a population of more than 10,500 people and is home to several Army units, including combat teams of the Army’s 4th Infantry Division, as well as a Special Forces group, an engineer battalion and units of the Army and Navy reserves and National Guard.

Waddington said despite the break-in, he won’t hold a grudge against the military.

"I respect people in the military, and I don't really want to shine a bad light on the military,” Waddington told KDVR. “I think it's isolated characters."

very cool, locked in the joint & surrounded by the fuzz, what luck!

a friend up here in MN has a auto junkyard that locals like to try to pick for free from time to time, he now has a friendly rottweiler that'll let you on the property but NOT back off, this dog gets between you and any exit out & there you'll stand waiting for JR to come let you out.

They must have thought they were in afghanistan.

I noticed a couple spins on the clip.

One--- twice mentioned "it isn't unusual these days" (insinuating that there are issues with medical marijuana).
Fact not disclosed--- It is really an issue with prohibition.

Two--- the mention that it doesn't reflect on the nations military, but rather stupidity.
Fact not disclosed---it is an issue with prohibition!

I'm glad the store owner knew enough to protect his business.
