When Cannabis Burglaries Go Wrong
Joseph Mills’ next court appearance will be in August
A 55-year-old Sacramento military veteran who worked as a security guard was arraigned on May 21st for killing an alleged burglar and injuring another from a group of up to nine persons in a brazen middle-of-the-night burglary.
On May 8th at around 4:30 am, a cannabis growing warehouse located on the 8500 block of Thys Court in Sacramento was broken-into by several masked and hooded burglars arriving in two cars.
Security camera footage shows three alleged burglars tossing garbage bags full of cannabis plants over an iron fence as others load the bags into the trunk of a car. Another car pulls up as more bags of freshly cut plants fly over the fence.
In one piece of camera footage, hooded figures climb up onto an air-conditioning unit to haphazardly toss open bags over the fence. Others catch the bags as plants fall onto the ground. In other footage, two men stand on the air-conditioner holding unbagged cannabis plants and waiting for a second car to pull in as the first one drives away.
During the break-in, a live-in 24/7 security guard named Joseph Lawrence Mills says he was confronted by two men in a darkened warehouse hallway.
