Delaware State Police Search for “Cigarette Bandits” – NBC10 Philadelphia

Delaware State Police are asking the public for help in identifying a man who authorities say stole more than $11,000 worth of cigarettes from a Wilmington store last week.

According to police, the incident occurred on June 13 at a Walgreens store in the 4500 block of New Linden Hill Road in Wilmington, Delaware.

Officials shared surveillance images from the store on social media.

Officials said that on that day, while an employee was busy in another part of the store, a man seen on surveillance video allegedly sneaked behind the store counter and “stole” thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes.

Police are asking anyone who may have seen this person to contact Trooper M. Watson of Troop 6 at (302) 633-5000 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333.
