The reporting person, who works for Allen Brothers Wholesalers, reported that an unknown suspect stole a box containing 30 cartons of cigarettes valued at $1,859.70 from off of the back of the truck as he was inside delivering other items, according to Newark Police Spokesman Lieutenant Fred Nelson.
