Florida teen caught on camera stealing display case of Juul vapes worth $800, cops say

An 18-year-old caught on surveillance footage stealing more than $800 worth of Juul vape pens from a convenience store in Davie this month has turned himself in, police said.

In video released by the Davie Police after the June 2 incident, police said Rudolph Almeida can be seen entering Tom Thumb Food Stores, 6601 Nova Dr., and making off with a display case of e-cigarettes valued at $817 after noticing the cashier was not behind the counter. He then ran out of the store and left the property in a green sedan, police said.

He was arrested Wednesday on a charge of grand theft. He was released from jail after posting a $1,000 bond.
