HOPLAND, Calif. – Two masked suspects allegedly forced their way into a Hopland home on Monday in order to steal marijuana.

Law enforcement is still seeking the suspects, according to Capt. Kurt Smallcomb of the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.

Smallcomb said Mendocino County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched at 8:30 a.m. Monday to the 300 block of MacMillan Drive in Hopland on the report of a home invasion robbery.

When deputies arrived they contacted a woman at the residence, who advised that she – along with two other subjects – were inside the residence when two masked suspects forced their way inside, Smallcomb said.

The woman told deputies that the robbers sprayed her in the face with some type of caustic chemical, which Smallcomb said is believed to be some type of pepper spray or mace.

Smallcomb said the suspects then allegedly took approximately $1,500 in cash and approximately 10 pounds of processed marijuana before fleeing the residence.

Deputies checked the neighborhood for any possible suspects but didn’t find anyone, Smallcomb said.

Mendocino County Sheriffs Deputy Butch Gupta is requesting anyone with information regarding this incident to contact him at 707-463-4086.
