DETROIT (WWJ) -- Detroit police are searching for suspects involved in a smash-and-grab robbery at a marijuana shop on Detroit’s northwest side.

WWJ’s Charlie Langton reports the suspects backed their truck into a building that houses a marijuana grow operation, but their robbery attempt failed when the vehicle got stuck in the building and caught fire.

The suspects then fled the scene near Oakfield Avenue and 7 Mile Road, just a few blocks away from heavy police activity on the scene of an accidental shooting that left a 5-year-old dead.

As of Tuesday morning, the robbery suspects remain on the run.
