TEEN CALLS COPS AFTER HER POT IS STOLEN

Hey, officer, can you help me get my dope back? A teen called York Region 
cops Thursday to report her marijuana had been stolen in a street robbery.

They said the case highlights changes officers have seen among youth since 
an Ontario judge ruled in May that there is no legal basis to ban simple 
possession of pot.

"They're right in your face about it," Const. Steve Morrell said.

The 18-year-old called police after she was robbed outside Thornhill Public 
School on Yonge St.

She told police two men forced her to hand over pot worth about $20. One 
man told her he had a gun.

"She reported it (to police) just like it was a stolen bike or Walkman or 
purse," Morrell said.

Cops are looking for two suspects.
