Two Butler residents have been charged with multiple break-ins at two businesses and stealing cigarettes, vapes and cigars, which they sold or tried to sell, according to police.

Butler police charged Jacob T. McCall, 28, and Victoria L. Conley, 27, with four felony counts of burglary and conspiracy to commit burglary and four misdemeanor counts of theft, and obtained warrants for their arrests.

The pair have been charged with breaking into the Quick Stop Marathon gas station on South Main Street on Nov. 5 and 12, and Tobacco 4 Less in Pullman Square on Nov. 15 and 16.

According to affidavits filed in the Nov. 5 burglary, police responded to an alarm at the Quick Stop and found a hole smashed through the glass door and found merchandise around the cash register had been disturbed.

The owner arrived and then later sent police security camera footage that shows two people wearing hooded sweatshirts entering through the broken door and walking to the cash register area. One of the burglars, who appeared to be a woman even though only the upper part of her face is visible, placed cigarettes and vapes into a backpack.

After receiving a tip that McCall and Conley committed the burglary, police located them on Nov. 22. Conley was wearing the same gray jacket and ring as the woman in the video, and McCall had a bag containing 36 packages of cigars that matched the serial numbers of those reported stolen from Tobacco 4 Less, according to police.

After obtaining a warrant for McCall’s cellphone, police found a text message thread that begins about two hours after the Nov. 5 burglary at the Quick Stop. In the messages, McCall asks a man if he still smokes cigarettes and tells him he’s trying to sell them, according to police.

On Nov. 16, McCall messages the same man to ask if he knows anyone who wants to buy some vapes, and then tells him he has 25 vapes and some cigarettes.

McCall goes on to say, “You heard anything about my stores getting robbed? I hit 3 this week and of em i took 3 trips back in the same night then they boarded it up so I took saw Nd cut it down Md went back in hHHHHHAaaaaaaa. Got mAd blunts too,” according to police.

A phone believed to be Conley’s was reported to be used to try to sell items to the Tobacco 4 Less owner, police noted.

On Nov. 18, Conley sends a message to a woman saying, “We have 1000s of vapes each $10 a piece. can you put the word out,” according to police.

Police said the phone contained photos of vapes and cigars taken during the burglaries and a video of a large quantity of vapes.

In a Nov. 12 text thread, McCall sends Conley a message at 3:18 a.m. about lottery tickets. The message was sent about 15 minutes after McCall was seen in a video entering the store by cutting through the boards and taking a large quantity of scratch-off lottery tickets, according to police.
