Title: Second attempt succeeds; juvenile arrested after Whiteville vape shop break-in

A juvenile who allegedly tried to break into a Whiteville vape shop returned the next day and this time got inside, police say.

Whiteville Police were first called to World Vape and Tobacco at West Williamson and J.K. Powell shortly before 11 a.m. on Nov. 4 after employees discovered an earlier alleged break-in.

Just before 8 a.m. the following morning, officers were again summoned to the store. According to the report, the youth gained entry through the back door and left with about $90 worth of cigarettes, vapes and THC products.

Deputy Chief Andre Jackson said the boy was identified and later detained. A juvenile petition has been filed. His name was not released because of his age.
