FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Another smoke shop in Broward County has been targeted in a late night break-in, and this time the suspects appear to be young teenagers.
Surveillance video from Snoopy’s Smoke Shop, located off Federal Highway near Sunrise Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, shows someone hurling a rock through the front door Sunday, triggering the alarm.
The video then shows the group reaching inside to unlock the door before walking in and quickly rummaging through displays.
The suspects can be seen searching for vape pens and cannabis products. Within a minute, they walk out with their arms full of merchandise.
The burglary comes just a day after police in Margate reported two similar break-ins at smoke shops, where thieves also stole thousands of dollars in vape pens.
One Margate shop employee told Local 10 News they believe the stolen items are being resold.
“They have to be selling it at school,” the employee said. “That’s the only thing I can think of — either keeping it for their own personal use or selling it.”
Anyone with information is urged to contact Fort Lauderdale police, Margate police, or Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
