Police arrested two men after one of them allegedly posed as an employee to swipe hundreds of dollars worth of cigarettes from a South Jersey Wawa store last week.

Dana Baker, 35, and William Baker, 28 were arrested and charged on Dec. 23 in connection to the theft of $2,500 in cigarettes. Burlington Township Police didn't reveal if the Sicklerville men are related.
