Masked Man Steals Tons of Cigarette Cartons at Portsmouth Market Basket

Seacoastonline reports that on Tuesday the workers at the Lafayette Rd Market Basket in Portsmouth discovered shattered windows in a front door. They realized someone had gone inside and completely cleaned off the shelves of cigarette cartons.

The store's video surveillance shows the man was wearing a mask and a hood and was in and out of the store very quickly.

A similar crime happend last month in Seabrook. Since the crime is quite unique the police believe that the two incidents are connected so they are working collaboratively to solve both cases.
