Philadelphia police are investigating at least three burglaries in which thieves used cars to ram into vape and tobacco shops and steal merchandise. Culebra Snack & Vape in Hunting Park was hit on Tuesday and Friday mornings, and Smoker's Palace in Wissinoming was hit on Saturday. Surveillance video at Smoker's Palace shows the group crashing a car through the front door after an initial failed attempt, then ransacking registers and stealing boxes of merchandise, including Backwoods cigars and True Wraps cigar wrappers, in about 30 seconds. Employees said the registers contained no cash. Culebra Snack & Vape has since installed bollards to prevent further incidents. Investigators are working to determine how many people are involved and whether the cases are connected.
