In Miramar, a smoke shop was vandalized just before its grand opening. The owner discovered the extent of the damage when he arrived in the morning, and it’s uncertain if the event will affect the scheduled opening on Saturday. Anthony Pascariella, owner of Major Ink Studios nearby, expressed his support for the affected business owner.
The perpetrator was caught on camera, and it appears that he was wielding hammers as he smashed through the front windows and door of The Forever Smoke Shop. He took a picture of his work before moving to the back of the store to do more damage. Surveillance cameras were eventually destroyed by him.
The community is being urged to contact authorities with any information that may lead to the apprehension of the suspect. Broward Crime Stoppers is also seeking any leads that may be helpful in identifying and capturing the individual responsible for this act of vandalism.
