Suspect shatters front door of Morse Road store with a hammer to steal cigarettes

Columbus police have released information about another smash and grab robbery on the City’s north side.

Police released details about the incident in a press release yesterday. On Oct. 31 at 7:10 a.m., an individual smashed the glass front door of a business located on the 1900 block of Morse Road with a hammer. The suspect then stole six cartons of cigarettes. Police did not provide a monetary estimate, but the items stolen would likely retail for several hundred dollars.  

The business was closed at the time, and while employees were inside, they were located in a back room and did not come into contact with the suspect.
