No arrests made

At least one unknown individual broke into and robbed the Gallup Thrift gas station and convenience store April 24, according to a police report.

Gallup police officer Adrian Quetawki recorded that at about 6 am he responded to a burglary at 3320 W. Historic Highway 66, in which cigarettes, knives and cigars were stolen.

The owner of the business said store cabinets containing smoking pipes and vapor juice were broken into, too.

“While on the scene I observed a large rock that was used to break into the business,” Quetawki wrote in the police report. “The business entry point was at the front door and the same as the exit point.”

The police report states that glass particles covered the inside and outside areas of the convenience store.

The Gallup Thrift has been the scene of at least two similar incidents over the past two years. In one instance, someone broke the glass partitions and holding cabinets and took smoking pipes and cigarettes. In another incident, an unknown person helped himself or herself to some pipes, cigarettes, potato chips and cigarettes.

There have been no arrests in either situation.
