BRIDGEPORT, CT (WFSB) – Police in Bridgeport were hoping the public could help them identify suspects in a smoke shop burglary.

They said on Sept. 23 they were alerted to a fight outside the S&B Smoke Shop on Park Avenue.

“The officer’s investigation revealed that the smokehouse had just been broken into,” Bridgeport Police Capt. Kevin Gilleran said. “An employee inside the store saw a suspect shoplifting several items and chased him down the street.”

Security camera footage from the business exposed at least two more suspects, police said.

Detectives responded and handled the prosecution.
