Police are asking the public for help identifying a number of suspects in a burglary at a smoke shop in Bridgeport in September.
The incident was reported on Sept. 23 around 12:40 a.m. when a patrol officer was alerted to an altercation in front of the S & B Smoke Shop at 1224 Park Ave., according to Capt. Kevin Gilleran of the Bridgeport Police Department.
Gilleran said an investigation found that the smoke shop had just been burglarized, as an employee allegedly saw someone stealing several items and chased him into the street. Security camera footage that was reviewed showed at least two additional suspects, according to Gilleran.
Police on Friday released photos of the suspects and have asked the public for help identifying them.
The incident is under investigation by the Detective Bureau’s Robbery and Burglary Squad.
Anyone with information about the identity of the suspects has been asked to Det. Kenny McKenna at 203-581-5245. Information can also be left at the Bridgeport police tips line at 203-576-TIPS.
