Man in Wawa Hat Goes Behind Counter, Swipes 30 Cartons of Smokes: Police

A man posed as a Wawa employee to swipe hundreds of dollars worth of cigarettes from a South Jersey Wawa store last week.

The caught-on-camera heist occurred Wednesday morning around 10:15 at the Wawa in Burlington Township.

A man with a Wawa baseball cap could be seen entering the store at 2003 Mt. Holly Road and then walking behind the counter, said Burlington Township Police. The man then took about 30 cartons of cigarettes and dipped out of a side door, said police.

He then got into the passenger seat of a white vehicle, possibly a convertible, before the vehicle pulled off onto Mt. Holly Road toward Burlington City, investigators said.

Police asked anyone with knowledge of the heist or who recognizes the suspect to call them at 609-386-2019 and refer to case 2014-20245.
