Thief smashes gas station door to steal cigarettes
By John Counts
An unknown amount of cigarettes was stolen early Sunday morning from an Ypsilanti Township gas station during a break-in.
Deputies from the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office were called to the Citgo gas station, 1521 Holmes Road, at 2:30 a.m. for an alarm going off, according to a news release.
"The suspect used a large piece of concrete to break out the front glass door to gain entry," the release stated.
A suspect has not been identified at this time. Police continue to investigate.

When you need a smoke, you need a smoke.

Looks like someone tried the same thing at the gas station at Cross St. and Washington in Ypsi.

I was going to ask if maybe A2.com got the location wrong since Google doesn't show the Cross Street Citgo last I checked.

I don't blame him. The price of cigarettes is criminal. If the state imposes 90%+ the cost of a pack of cigarettes, then the only person to blame is the state. Let him walk.
