Police are looking for the people who smashed the front window of a gas station in Bristol early Wednesday morning and stole vaping products, cigarettes, cash and more.

Police said officers responded to the Sunoco Gas Station at 510 Farmington Ave. around 4:08 a.m. to investigate after a burglar alarm went off and the burglars were gone when police arrived.

The front window of the store was broken and cash and several items, including cigarettes and vaping-related products, were stolen during the burglary, according to officials.

One of the burglars walked up and down the aisles, browsed the candy section and focused on the Nerds gummy clusters.

The gas station owner said the burglars used firewood that was for sale outside the store to break the door and another tool to get in.

The burglars were wearing dark clothing and face masks and they are believed to be in a dark sport utility vehicle.

Anyone with information is asked to call Bristol Police and speak with the criminal investigation division.

Police in Newington are investigating a burglary at a smoke shop there this morning as well.

The burglary in Bristol happened around an hour after a burglary at a smoke shop in Newington.

Officers responded to Cloud9 on New Britain Avenue around 3 a.m. and the glass door was smashed.

Bristol police said it's possible that the two burglaries are connected.
