WASHINGTON CROSSING, PA — Police are looking for a man seen on security camera footage breaking into a local convenience store to take "numerous cartons of cigarettes" and the money from the Pennsylvania lottery cash drawer.
The burglary occurred on Wednesday around 4:50 a.m., according to the Upper Makefield Township Police Department (which specified that the time stamp on the images is incorrect).
The man apparently left the parking lot in the car seen in the background of the photographs, which may have been a dark blue or black Volkswagen sedan. He reportedly drove onto General Sullivan Road and then onto Route 532, traveling in an unknown direction.
