LAWRENCE, Mich. – Three men are in custody after breaking into the Van Buren County TruLeaf dispensary Sunday morning. A fourth suspect is still at large.

The Van Buren County Sheriff's Office says at 3:30 a.m., the owner of the Lawrence Village dispensary saw several people via surveillance video inside the building.

When officers arrived, they said they saw several suspects taking bags of marijuana and other items out of the building. When the suspects saw law enforcement, they returned inside the building.

Three of the suspects were able to escape through an uncovered door and fled into the woods.

One of the men was arrested when he ran out of the woods and tried to get into a car to flee. A second man was found inside the business and taken into custody, and a third suspect was later seen walking on I-94 near County Road 681.
