Men Make Off With $225 in Cigarettes From Walgreens While Clerk's Back is Turned
Police said the men ordered the large amount of cigarettes and when the clerk bent down to retrieve more, the two grabbed what was on the counter and ran
While a clerk's back was turned, two men were able to make it out of Walgreens Wednesday night with about $225 in Newport 100s.
If that sounds like a lot of cigarettes, it is. That's 40 boxes, according to the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department.
Police said the men ordered the large amount of cigarettes and when the clerk bent down to retrieve more, the two grabbed what was on the counter and ran.
The Walgreens employee described the suspects as two black men in their late 30s dressed in all black. They left the store at 2645 State Road in a gray four-door vehicle of an unknown make about 11:45 p.m. that night.
If you have information regarding the incident, you can reach the Cuyahoga Falls Police Department at 330-928-2181.

40 packs = 4 cartons. A pretty easy grab for two men. Can't believe the price of cigarettes now!

reduce and eliminate low income housing....REDUCE LOW INCOME HOUSING - REDUCE LOW INCOME HOUSING. All the people crying about Portgage crossings - imagine if low income apts were built there.
