“He walked in with what looked like a hockey bag and he went straight for the expensive stuff,” Mitch Tarala said in an interview Tuesday after reviewing the video.

The store is one of the city’s largest suppliers of electronic cigarettes and accessories. It also makes its own e-juice — the nicotine-infused liquid that is vaporized in e-cigarettes.

The video footage shows a masked man entering the store and emptying the display cases into a large bag. He wore gloves, a hood and his face was covered.

While Tarala is still calculating the final cost of all the stolen gear and juice, he said the lost inventory is worth up to $20,000.
