Police are investigating the brazen break and enter of a Warwick business with three alleged offenders caught on CCTV.
A tobacconist on Palmerin St was targeted on Thursday about 8.30pm, with three alleged offenders nabbed on camera breaking through the front of the store while it was closed.
The offenders cut through a padlock on the front roller door of the store, then smashing the glass shopfront, before entering the store and spraypainting the security cameras white.
