MARMET, W.Va. — Authorities are investigating an early morning break-in at a Kanawha County liquor store and are asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect.
According to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office, the burglary occurred around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday at King Cut Rate Liquor & Tobacco on MacCorkle Avenue Southeast in Marmet.
Investigators say the suspect gained entry by throwing a rock through the store’s front glass doors before entering the business.
The suspect is described as a white male dressed in black clothing and wearing a face covering. Authorities said he was also carrying a luggage-style bag and appeared to be wearing a glove on his right hand, possibly to conceal identifying features.
Deputies reported that several packs of mini liquor bottles were stolen during the break-in. Investigators believe some of the merchandise may have been dropped while the suspect fled the area.
The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate and is asking anyone with information about the incident to contact law enforcement.
