A boy was caught on camera stealing a vape from a discount store in Birmingham and later returned to kick and smash the shop's glass door. The incident occurred at the CBW Discount Store on Alcester Road South on May 15. Five teenagers entered the shop, with one stealing a vape and running out. The group returned, and when the shopkeeper attempted to eject them, the thief smashed the glass pane. Shop owner Max McDonough expressed frustration, stating that the cost of the vape was not the issue but the brazenness of the act. He noted that the shop has been in his family for years, but this was the first sign of trouble. McDonough reported the incident to the police and shared images on Facebook, which garnered significant attention. He mentioned that the same individuals are suspected of targeting other local shops, including Sainsbury's and Bargain Buys. Police are investigating the theft and criminal damage, urging anyone with information to come forward.
