Someone in gray Honda Accord reported stolen in Cathedral City “intentionally backed into” Holistic Collective at 2235 N. Palm Canyon Drive about 2:10 a.m. Monday, damaging the building and fleeing, Palm Springs police Sgt. Mike Kovaleff said.
Similar crimes happened March 3 and March 8 at Desert Valley Treatment at 576 Williams Road.
Someone driving a white Honda Accord, also reported stolen in Cathedral City, backed the car into into the shop on March 3 about 5:05 p.m., then fled in the car, Kovaleff said.
Then on March 8 about 4:35 a.m., someone backed the same car into the dispensary, then tried to light the car on fire, dousing it with a flammable liquid, he said.
That suspect was described as a white or Hispanic man, in his late teens to mid 20s, wearing a light-colored baseball cap with a dark brim, a dark, hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and black-and-white shoes.
Anyone with more information about the crimes was asked to call Detective Marcus Litch at 760-323-8140 or Coachella Valley Crime Stoppers at 760- 341-7867.
