Early Tuesday morning, a suspect smashed the front windows of Tobacco & Vape Castle on Wilmington Road in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Before the burglar could enter, the shop owner spoke through the store's security camera system, startling the suspect and causing him to flee empty-handed. Police responded to the 5:26 a.m. break-in and are searching for the suspect, asking the public to call Lawrence County 911 or submit anonymous tips via CRIMEWATCH. The shop had previously been targeted in February when a suspect stole over $600 worth of merchandise, and the incident reflects a broader rise in smash-and-grab burglaries at vape shops across Western Pennsylvania this year. If caught, the suspect could face second-degree burglary charges carrying up to 10 years in prison and a $25,000 fine.
