Warrington Vape Shop Sees Second Robbery in Less Than Two Years

WARRINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA—A local vape and smoke shop had its front window smashed and was robbed for the second time in less than two years.

Surveillance video showed someone throwing a brick through the window of Quick Puff, which is located on Easton Road near Bristol Road, in the early morning hours of June 30. Police received a report of an alarm at about 4:20 a.m.

The video showed someone wearing a black hoodie, white face mask, white gloves and black and white Nike shoes throwing a brick through the window and entering the store. About $700 of merchandise was stolen.

In November of 2022, a group of thieves wearing hoodies, masks and gloves shattered the front window of the same store. Police at the time said they thought the target of that break-in was the store’s skill games, which were ransacked.

Skill machines have the look and feel of slot machines, but their manufacturers say that players win by using skills, not chance. That distinction makes them exempt from state gaming regulations.

The Pennsylvania State Police, however, have in the past ruled that the machines are illegal and have seized them from bars.

Anyone with information about the recent incident is asked to call Officer Areias at 215-343-3311, ext. 280.
