On 12-16-22 at approx. 0648 hrs. the Columbia Borough Police were dispatched to the Smoke Shop, located in the 800 block of Lancaster Ave., for a burglary in progress. It was reported to police that a person was observed on the store camera system, attempting to break in. An employee was inside and could hear kicking as the suspect was trying to enter through the side drive-thru window. The male was then observed on camera, as he climbed onto the roof.

     Police arrived on scene, and with the assistance of West Hempfield Police, established a perimeter. Columbia Borough Police deployed a UAV (drone) and observed the male on the roof, which he had damaged while trying to gain entry into the building. The male was directed to come down, he complied, and was taken into custody.
