Man In Werewolf Mask Robs Dispensary While South Jersey Store Was Open: Police

WOODBURY, NJ — A man in a werewolf mask broke into a South Jersey cannabis dispensary through the drive-thru window and stole the cash drawer while the business was open, authorities said.

Theodore Sparks, 25, has been charged for his alleged role in the Nov. 5 robbery of Nova Farms in Woodbury. He was arrested Wednesday.

Sparks, of Woodbury, forced his way through the drive-thru window while Nova Farms was open, police said. He confronted employees with a fake gun, stole the cash draw and then exited through the same window, according to law enforcement.

The man was wearing a werewolf mask and all-black clothing as a full moon lit the night sky.

Police later identified Sparks as the suspect. Employees told police that Sparks previously worked at the dispensary and previously brought the wolf mask to work, according to nj.com.

Sparks's listed attorney, Robert C. Wolf, did not immediately respond to Patch's request for comment.

Woodbury police executed a search warrant Wednesday at the city's 10 block of S Childs Street and then arrested Sparks on a warrant.

Sparks was charged with the following:

• first-degree robbery

• third-degree theft
• third-degree possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes
• fourth-degree criminal mischief
• fourth-degree possession of an imitation firearm
• possession of burglary tools (disorderly persons offense)

He was placed in the Salem County Correctional Facility, which provides jailing services for Gloucester County, pending a detention hearing.
