Erie police launch manhunt for suspect accused of robbing Peach Street smoke shop of THC flower

Erie police are searching for a suspect accused of stealing more than $2,000 worth of THC flower from a Peach Street smoke shop on Nov. 13.

Officers responded to a panic alarm at Unique Smoke Shop, 2617 Peach St., at about 5:40 p.m., the Erie Bureau of Police reported Nov. 14. Deputy Chief Rick Lorah said a man wearing a camouflage jacket and black pants walked into the store, approached the counter and demanded that six jars of THC flower be placed into a DoorDash bag he was carrying.

A store employee told police the man’s movements led them to believe he might have a gun. The suspect left the store with the jars, which Lorah said were valued at more than $2,000.

Erie police detectives are reviewing surveillance video as they work to identify the suspect.
