The cops were called over the weekend to the second tobacco shop burglary of the month. The two cases, though at different stores, share quite a few similarities.
Local police were called to a local smoke shop on Sunday where burglars used an axe to shatter the storefront before stealing about 100 cartons of Newport cigarettes.
