00:00The victims are legal growers, Jay and Luna Miller.

00:03I thought she looked familiar.

00:04My dad is friends with her father-in-law.

00:06Did she give you a statement?

00:07No, she was too upset.

00:09Spoke to one of the guards, though.

00:10The other one took two in a tour so he was on his way

00:12to Edgewater Memorial.

00:13I know that face.

00:15Cole Hasby, he was in my deputy training program.

00:17He dropped out.

00:18Oh, right, I remember.

00:19He didn't drop out, he washed out.

00:21So the Millers were in that vehicle.

00:23Bodyguards were in this follow vehicle.

00:24Another SUV cut them off, and three masked men jumped out.

00:27One of the men laid down suppressing fire.

00:29The other two pulled the Millers' tax money out of the vehicle.

00:32Bodyguards returned fire, but they were outgunned.

00:34Robberies got away with over 200 grand.

00:36Wait, I'm sorry, I'm confused.

00:38Sir, are you saying that the couple was just paying their taxes?

00:40Legal cannabis growers still have to pay their taxes like any other business.

00:44Unlike any other business, though, no bank will extend them credit,

00:47so it's a 100% cash-based business.

00:49These people roll up to the tax office, pay their taxes in cash.

00:53It's given rise to a whole cottage industry of armed transport protection.

00:56Clearly, it didn't work in this case.

00:58I have a feeling these guys aren't done.

01:01They're gonna strike again.

01:02You sure?

01:03They did just get away with 200 grand.

01:05Nobody leaves the casino when they're off.

01:07Yeah, Boone's right.

01:08Tax deadline is in two days, so over the next 48 hours,

01:11there'll be a few million rolling up and down these back roads,

01:13just waiting to be stolen.

01:15They pulled off one robbery.

01:17They'll get more brazen now.

01:19We gotta catch these guys before somebody gets killed.

01:24They're waiting we should do that tomorrow at the park.

01:29These were tearing cans.

01:31They'll call a beast down here to sell it in theirakae!

01:34I ditched the neighbor here!

01:36I'm feeling too high.

01:37I'm feeling sorry, man.

01:38Fucking myself.

01:39My mind, this was a win-off.

01:41This was so proven.

01:42I kept on track, too, which happened to us.
