E-Cigarette business targeted twice in a year


DANIA BEACH, Fla. -- Police are releasing surveillance video of a break-in at a Dania Beach warehouse after the business was targeted for the second time in a year. 

The latest break-in at E-Cigarette Wholesale, located at 2050 Tigertail Blvd., in Dania Beach resulted in a major loss for the company. "It's between, I can assume, between $300,000 to a half million," said owner Talor Zafrir. "This time, it's big." 

The crime was captured on surveillance where the thieves could be seen inside the business handing off boxes to one another. 

"They cut the walls, they crawled on the floor, and they just took whatever they could," said Zafrir. Detectives believe the thieves used a truck to crash through the walls of the business.

 "They broke into the back warehouse," said manager Asi Darmon. "They probably drove back in a truck or SUV. They broke the wall, and they probably, what we are seeing on camera, they most likely been taking boxes through the wall." 

According to the owner, this is the second time in less than a year their business has been targeted. A couple of months ago, one of their stores in Hollywood was hit. 

"We are a small business trying to make it, and it's just putting us back now, a year back to restart and restock everything, which is very sad," said Darmon. If you have any information on this burglary, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward.
