After an increase in robberies, Alberta’s Cannabis regulator is lifting rules requiring windows to be covered
Alberta’s cannabis regulator will allow pot shops to take down window coverings after a spate of robberies.
In a letter sent to retailers today, the AGLC says the move was prompted by a “significant rise” in robberies at licensed pot retailers in recent months, in particular in the city of Calgary. The letter says its new policy ensures it is not inadvertently contributing to stores being targeted due to a lack of visibility and warned shops against using the change to replace window coverings with outward-facing promotions.“Complying with this regulation meant that most licensed cannabis stores in the province have been forced to black out exterior window’s making them prime targets for criminal elements,” said senior vice president of corporate and public affairs Omar Khan.
