Two robbers are seen smashing the window to get in, according to surveillance footage from Tobacco and Vape. A white automobile with a third suspect inside sat out front. The burglars wasted little time in getting to the cash register, as seen in the security footage.

“They went to the back and took some stuff, bags, and the register,” the proprietor of Tobacco and Vape stated.
