NE Cigarette Bandit Wore Beer Carton As Disguise
Police in Nebraska are looking a man who stole cigarettes while disguising himself as a beer carton.
Lincoln police Capt. Bob Kawamoto says the man walked into a Kwik Shop convenience store before dawn Monday wearing an empty Bud Light box on his head as a mask.
Kawamoto says the man also had wrapped something around one of his hands, suggesting he was armed. But the man never showed a weapon.
Police said the bandit left with nine packs of smokes valued at nearly $50.
Police did not immediately respond to calls seeking additional details Tuesday.
