Sometime Friday night, October 22, burglar(s) forced their way into the Smoker’s Friend on South Green Street.

Once inside, police say they stole 563 cartons of cigarettes values at over $23,000.

A witness noticed the burglary around 3:45 a.m., and believes the suspects may have been in the store at that time.

Authorities are hoping someone may have some information about the stolen cigarettes, or may have heard about someone selling or
trading a large amount of cigarettes at an unusually discounted price.
