PUEBLO, COLO. -- Pueblo Police officers are asking for your help finding a man who stole almost $600 worth of cigarettes from a convenience store in the city last week.

Officers said a man came into JR's Country Store in the 500 block of East Abriendo Avenue around 10:24 a.m. Tuesday, walked directly to the back of the store and picked the office lock. He then stuffed 11 cartons of cigarettes into his coat and walked out.

Officers said he is a heavy-set white man with a thin-trimmed beard. He wore a blue jacket, jeans and black shoes in the Tuesday robbery.
