Walgreens manager busted & broken in cig-stealing\u00a0scheme<\/a><\/h1>\n

A Staten Island Walgreens manager fuming over getting passed over for a promotion got his revenge by swiping $100,000 worth of cigarettes over the course of a year, police sources said Friday.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

But the butt head\u2019s plot was foiled when he tried to make off with 300 packs of smokes Friday \u2014 only to trip over a road barrier and snap his leg in a klutzy getaway, the sources said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tony Nazario, 29, of Old Bridge, NJ, had been using a key to get into the store on Forest Avenue near Decker Avenue after-hours and swipe a total of at least 10,000 packs of smokes since January 2014, police sources said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cops snuffed out his 23-pack-a-day habit after the bumbling bandit stuffed 300 packs of cigarettes \u2014 including Newports, Salems and Mavericks \u2014 into two garbage bags at around 12:30 a.m. Friday, the sources said.<\/em><\/p>\n

When police showed up, Nazario dropped the bags and ran, police sources said. \u00a0<\/em>But his getaway moves were worse than a winded chain smoker. He tried to hop a road barrier, failed to clear it and shattered his leg, said law-enforcement sources.<\/em><\/p>\n

Even as he lay in a pool of blood \u2014 with his shin bone poking out through his skin \u2014 he tried to fight off cops, refusing to be cuffed, police sources said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Later he confessed to the cigarette scheme, telling officers he was mad at the company\u2019s regional manager and had stolen the cigarettes to \u201cget his,\u201d according to police sources.<\/em><\/p>\n

As he lay bleeding on the ground, he added, \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have ran.\u201d \u00a0<\/em>Nazario was rushed to Richmond University Medical Center with a compound fracture.<\/em><\/p>\n

The disgruntled worker went to the Walgreens every Thursday night after it closed to raid it, police sources said. \u00a0<\/em>He may have sold the packs of cheap cigarettes to delis, police sources said. \u00a0<\/em>Cops were tipped off about the heist by another worker, police sources said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nazario was moved to Staten Island University Hospital to undergo surgery on Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 Workers at the Walgreens on Friday claimed they had no clue about the scheme. \u00a0<\/em>Walgreens spokeswoman Emily Hartwig had no comment Friday. \u00a0“<\/em>We would refer you to local police regarding this matter,\u201d she said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nazario, who was charged with grand larceny and burglary, could not be reached for comment at the hospital Friday.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
