Tacoma Police say they’ve arrested an 18-year-old male in connection with a pot-shop robbery back in October.

The business in the 26-hundred block of Pacific Avenue was closed at the time, when the robbers drove through the front doors.

Six people quickly loaded merchandise into bags and somebody shot at a security guard as they were leaving.
