LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — After Lincoln Vapor was burglarized over the weekend for the second time in three months, Channel 8 looked into why these shops tend to be a target for thieves.
In a phone call with the Lincoln Police Department, officials said thieves see vape shops as a ‘target rich environment’ where merchandise can be somewhat easy to grab and then re-sell. Officers said thieves can often times make a profit off of the stolen goods by selling them to underage individuals.
