Video surveillance from the store captured three to four males forcing their way through the front door and stealing the cash register. One of the suspects was possibly armed with a firearm.

The suspects arrived in a white Infiniti sedan with a vanity license plate, “KB43VER”, and left South on Springboro Pk.

At least four to five other area smoke shops were targeted that morning, the spokesperson said. Shops in Miami Township, Washington Township, and Beavercreek reported break-ins involving the same or similar suspects driving a white Infiniti sedan.
