Troopers from the Rutland Barracks of the Vermont State Police are asking the public for help in identifying a person who burglarized the Belmont Country Store early this morning.

According to a VSP press release, troopers were called to the Belmont Country Store at 2400 Belmont Road in Mt. Holly  this morning for the report of a burglary.

Police say that around 3:15 a.m. a man broke into the store building. Security footage shows a lone man entering and filling a black garbage bag with a number boxes of cigarettes and lighters.

The man wore coverings on his head and face and the photos appear to show him holding a crowbar.

Police say that based on where he entered the building and where the targeted merchandise was located, it seems that the burglar was familiar with the layout of the store.
