Bloody thief nabs cigs from gas station

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) - The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety is investigating a burglary at a Shell gas station.

Officers were dispatched at 2:18 a.m. Saturday to the business at 107 E. Cork St.

When they arrived they saw the front window broken out, according to a news release.

It appears the suspect cut his hand on the window, as there was a large amount of blood inside the store.

The suspect stole several cartons of cigarettes valued at more than $500 before fleeing the scene.

A police K-9 unit could not track down the suspect who apparently drove away in a vehicle parked nearby or driven by someone else.

Anyone with more information about this incident is asked to call police at 269.337.8994 or Silent Observer at 269.343.2100.
