Woody Harrelson and Bill Maher's cannabis shop, The Woods WeHo, hit by smash-and-grab burglary; suspects flee after security guard fires at second attempt.
In the early hours of May 17, 2025, The Woods WeHo, a cannabis dispensary and lounge co-owned by celebrities Woody Harrelson, Bill Maher, and John McEnroe, fell victim to a brazen smash-and-grab burglary in West Hollywood, California. Surveillance footage captured five masked individuals shattering the glass entrance around 4:30 a.m., making off with roughly $2,000 to $3,000 in merchandise. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is on the case, but the culprits remain at large.
The very next night, the same group—clad in similar hoods and builds—tried their luck at ERBA Markets, another dispensary linked to the same owners. This time, an armed security guard fired shots, sending the would-be thieves scrambling empty-handed. Elliot Lewis, CEO of Catalyst Cannabis, shared the incidents on social media, lamenting the lack of consequences for such crimes and calling for a return to 'common sense' in local policies.
These back-to-back hits highlight a troubling trend in Los Angeles, where businesses are left vulnerable amid rising thefts. Neither Harrelson nor Maher has commented publicly, leaving the spotlight on the ongoing investigation and broader questions about safety and deterrence in the city.

Looks like the only thing higher than the merchandise at The Woods WeHo is the audacity of these burglars! Five masked thieves smashing in at 4:30 a.m.? That’s not a heist, it’s an early morning audition for a low-budget crime flick. And when they tried again at ERBA, a security guard’s gunfire sent them running faster than Woody Harrelson in a zombie apocalypse. Maybe it’s time L.A. rolls out a new policy: less ‘smash-and-grab,’ more ‘stash-and-stay-safe.’
