CIGARETTE THIEF CAUGHT ON SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO 

A thief made off with several packs of cigarettes early Monday morning from a local convenience store, but the watchful eye of a security camera captured his image.  Now Volusia County Sheriff's Office investigators are asking for the public's help in identifying the suspect who robbed the DeBary store. 

At about 4:14 a.m., a deputy responding to an alarm at the Cumberland Farms Store at 600 S. U.S. Highway 17-92 found the store's front glass door and front window smashed.  A few moments later, a store clerk arrived on scene and discovered that the only items taken from the store were an undisclosed number of cigarette packs. 

Investigator Carmel Livingood later obtained the store's security camera tape, which captured an image of the suspect breaking the glass door.  The Sheriff’s Office released the photo Thursday, hoping the image will generate additional leads and a possible identification of the suspect. Anyone with information about this case is asked to contact investigator Livingood at (386) 668-3830 or Crime Stoppers of Volusia and Flagler Counties, toll-free, at 1-888-277-TIPS. Callers to Crime Stoppers will remain anonymous and can qualify for a reward of up to $1,000.
