Nimbin’s Hemp Embassy.

A former Nimbin resident has been arrested and charged with smashing a safe at the Nimbin Hemp Embassy in November 2013.

Police allege the 29-year-old woman broke into the Hemp Embassy in Cullen Street and stole between three and four thousand dollars cash and a thousand dollars worth of herbal vaporisers from the safe.
