Deputies responded to a burglary at a marijuana shop in Evertt around 3 a.m. Monday.
Surveillance video showed three Kias entering the parking lot of the shop.
The driver of one of the vehicles attempted to break into the business by ramming into the side of the shop.
According to officials, a man who works at a business behind the pot shop heard the disturbance and discovered the burglary in progress and used bear spray on at least one of the suspects.
The owner of the pot shop, Marijuana 99, told Fox 13 Seattle he also stays armed with bear spray and has had to use it before, but that this was the first time his business has been slammed into during an attempted burglary.
Deputies added that the vehicles involved in the attempted burglary are also believed to have been stolen.
