Thieves trying to take marijuana end up with bags full of hemp, Oregon cops say

Thieves thought they were stealing recreational marijuana — but instead ended up with between 60 and 80 pounds of hemp, Oregon police said.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that four suspects covered in mud were found walking down a Molalla, Oregon, highway with bags and pockets full of cannabis plants. They allegedly stole the plants from a legal grow operation, officials said.

“The suspects mistakenly thought they were stealing recreational marijuana,” the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

The four men — Sebastian Wade Roby, 19; Jason Patrick Troyer, 21; Tanner Leslie Giles, 20; and Donovan Allan Hall, 22 — were stopped after 3 a.m. Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said. They were carrying large bags with a “green leafy plant” that was falling out, video shows.

“Mud was caked on the subjects’ feet and ankles,” the sheriff’s office said. “One subject was carrying a large bushel of plants in his arms in addition to his bagful.”
