Cigarettes Worth $2K Stolen in Goodwives Supermarket Heist

A thief stole about 40 cartons of cigarettes by jumping over the counter at 9 p.m. on Monday, March 2, at the Stop & Shop supermarket in Goodwives Shopping Center.

Store security personnel called police to report the theft of what was estimated to be $2,000 worth of cigarettes, and to show them the surveillance video.

The video shows a thin, black male wearing a dark North Face jacket over a sweatshirt, a dark skull cap, jeans and work boots. After jumping over the counter, he loaded up a large cardboard box with the cigarette cartons.

Darien police are continuing to investigate the incident.
