With help from tips to 88-CRIME, Tucson Police have arrested a suspect involved in the theft of cigarettes.

The suspect, seen in surveillance videos from two convenience store cameras, was identified as Cole Evan Neal, said TPD officials. 

Neal allegedly stole cigarettes from at least eight stores between November 2012 and January 2013, and according to TPD he is also believed to be linked to a separate incident that occurred in Pima County. 

TPD is saying that Neal is currently booked into the Pima County Jail and is facing potential charges on nine counts of Third Degree Burglary, all of which are considered felonies.
