DALLAS, Texas — Local law enforcement is searching for suspects involved in a destructive smash-and-grab robbery at a local business, World of Smoke & Vape, which was captured in dramatic surveillance footage on Friday, March 27, 2026.

According to reports, the incident occurred early in the morning when perpetrators smashed through the storefront to gain entry.
