Hove Vape Shop Target of Overnight Break-In as Burglars Force Entry

A popular vape shop in Hove has become the latest target in a series of commercial break-ins in the East Sussex area. Burglars managed to force entry into the premises during the early hours of the morning, stealing a substantial amount of stock and leaving behind a scene of significant damage to the storefront and interior displays.

The perpetrators are believed to have targeted high-value vaping kits, premium e-liquids, and electronic accessories. The owners discovered the break-in upon arriving to open the store in the morning, noting shattered glass and ransacked shelving units. Police forensics teams have visited the site to gather evidence, including DNA samples and toolmarks from the point of entry.

Local traders have rallied in support of the business, raising calls for increased overnight surveillance and security measures along the high street. Sussex Police have confirmed they are reviewing available CCTV footage and are asking anyone who might have heard disturbances or noticed vehicles driving erratically in the area overnight to get in touch.
