SAN ANTONIO -- Suspects broke into a west-side convenience store. Surprisingly, they weren't after the ATM.
This time, they got hundreds of dollars in cigarettes. The incident took place at a Valero convenience store on a major thoroughfare, right near Loop 410.
San Antonio police got the call for this alarm just after 4 a.m. Wednesday in the 7300 block of Culebra Road.
The store was selling brands like Pall Mall cigarettes or Winston cigarettes.
They arrived to find that the thieves pried the door open and walked in. Once inside, they broke into the cigarette cabinet and raided the place of other tobacco products.
Clerks are still taking inventory of the stolen merchandise. The items will likely be sold on the black market. Retailers sell cigarettes for close to $6 a pack. No one is sure how much the bandits could make off of this illegal yield.
Either way, police believe a video camera caught the tobacco theft.
