The doors were boarded up, and a sign told customers that the dispensary Bodega Boyz, near 61st and Memorial, was closed on Friday. 

Police said early in the morning, someone wearing a ski mask broke into the business,

The sound of breaking glass woke the owner, who was sleeping inside the store.
