Original story:
PRESTON — A local vapor shop has once again been burglarized, and the owner is offering an award for information that would bring the thieves to justice.
Outlaw Vapor in Preston was burglarized early Friday morning — the second time in the last few months.
The owner and manager of the business received a text message through their alarm system notifying them there had been movement within the building.
Both went to store and discovered it had been burglarized.
“They used a rock to break a window and to shatter a case,” Regional Manager Lane King tells EastIdahoNews.com. “They also broke down a door and damaged the frame, so we we’ll have to replace that too.”
King says $5,000 to $6,000 worth of products was stolen.
The company is asking the public’s help to identify the more recent thieves. (Those who burglarized the store last time were caught, King said.)
The business describes itself as small, and recovering from these incidents is a tough thing.
“We are offering a $500 cash reward that leads to an arrest,” King said. “Please contact us or the City of Preston Police Department with any information.”
