Delaware man steals $11,000 worth of cigarettes. 'Yes, you read that right' – Times of India
“Yes, you read that right—eleven thousand dollars’ worth of smokes!” the Delaware State Police wrote on Facebook. It could not help but crack a little cigarette joke. “Your tip could be the match that lights up this case!” police wrote.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333, New York Post reported.
The thief has been identified from the surveillance video awhich the police released. “While an employee was occupied in another section of the store, the suspect snuck behind the counter and made off with the goods,” the statement read. In the photo, the thief can be seen clad in red with a walker in front of him.
Social media users had a riot over the freak robbery as they wondered where the man put over 100 cartons of cigarettes. “I guess they weren’t trying to give him his senior discount,” one user quipped. Another questioned how long the employee was busy elsewhere that this suspect — who looked like an old person walking with the help of a walker — made as many trips to steal so many cartons of cigarettes.
