POT SHOP GOES UP IN SMOKE

POT SHOP GOES UP IN SMOKE

The owners of an east Bakersfield pot shop think they know who caused an early morning fire that heavily damaged their business. Security camera footage shows a man coming up to the front door of Golden State Hempire on Niles Street and West Drive just before the reinforced fire started at 4:30am Monday.

Kern County Fire has not determined the cause.

The fire caused about $60,000 in damage to the two-story building.
