Police look for cigarette thief
Shreveport police are hoping someone will be able to identify a burglar seen in surveillance video Nov. 18 stealing cartons of cigarettes from a convenience store.
The video, which is taken from two different angles, clearly shows a white male breaking the glass door of the business, jumping over the counter and forcing his way into cigarette cabinets. He then takes an armload of cigarettes, leaves the store and then quickly returns a second time to steal more cigarettes.
The burglary occurred in the 5400 block of West 70th Street at 12:35 p.m. The suspect is a white male with collar-length hair wearing a blue jean jacket and blue jeans. The suspect’s vehicle, a dark-colored car, can be seen pulling up to the store just prior to the burglary.
If anyone has information regarding this suspect, call Detective Eric Miles at 673-6985 or Crime Stoppers at 673-7000.
