Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
On Tuesday, February 9, 2020, Rankin County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the ED’s Quickie gas station in Star for an alarm.

Interesting. Almost looks like they had done something like this before [/sarcasm]

Future rocket surgeons and curers of cancer.
I don't understand why these places don't have more security cameras placed further down where they'll capture the faces better.
If I ever go to prison, it's not gonna be for stealing cigarettes out of a C store.
Just a sign of the times. As if no one has noticed the United States has just recently moved into a new kind of stupid. It was probably better no one was there
Dept. of Corrections will be buying these cigs at a discount. Win/win
These two have frequented this store before and will probably be back tomorrow.
Listen up you elitists.
Whatever bad stuff you say about these fine Americans you cannot say they're not out there working while most people are sleeping. They just happen to lack proper job skills.
If they put that kind of energy, forethought, and industry, into say becoming CPAs, lawyers, nurse practitioners, garbage truck drivers they would enjoy similar success.
Different strokes for different folks.
Knew where everything they wanted was. Knew to use the trash can to carry the goods out. They definitely knew the place.
At the end of the video it almost looks as if one was attempting to clean up the mess they made. I noticed the Red Bull was not touched. These guys were not white as they bypassed the Skoal.
I have had many contacts with c-store owners over the years. Robberies and burglaries are so common that they do not concern themselves with getting good enough video equipment to catch faces of customers. What you see in this video is the norm -- posted so the owner can see if a clerk is palming from the register. The reason prices at c-store are higher is simply because owners pass the cost of robbery and burglaries to what they sell rather than buy insurance and have to go through police, adjusters, etc.
