Yesterday morning, the serenity of a Fort Lauderdale smoke shop was disrupted when burglars struck, only to be met with the resistance of its owner. According to a report by Local 10, the attempted burglary at 954 Vapes located at the 6200 block of North Federal Highway took place around 4:30 a.m. The shop owner was present during the incident and swiftly acted to scare off the perpetrators who subsequently fled the scene in a gray vehicle. The Fort Lauderdale Police are currently conducting an investigation into the break-in.
Officers were quick to soon arrive on scene after receiving reports of the incident. Glass shattered by the would-be thieves announced their forced entry into the fabric of the quiet predawn. "The front window of his store was smashed," the police reported, effectively clarifying the method of entry for the intruders. As noted by Local 10, no injuries were reported following the confrontation between the owner and the unidentified suspects.
In the absence of immediate arrests, the details surrounding the number of suspects involved remain unclear, as does the exact inventory of what might have been taken from the store.
