Police looking for stolen cigarettes

Police are appealing for information after a cigarette vending machine at a Douglas pub was raided and a large number of packets stolen.

It's thought to have happened on Wednesday or Thursday, while the premises were open for business.

The cigarettes are easily recognisible as they come in packs of 16, except for Lambert and Butler which come in packs of 18.

Anybody who thinks they may have been offered any of the stolen goods is asked to ring police on 631212 or the anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111.

The pub isn't being named at the request of the licensee.
