Two men have been arrested after a Southampton store was broken into in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
Staff were left shaken after a "large number of vapes" were stolen from Sholing Video in St Monica Road.
Burglars broke in through the main entrance of the store which yesterday was cordoned off.
A spokesperson for Hampshire Constabulary said: “We have now arrested a 32-year-old man and a 28-year-old man, both from Southampton, on suspicion of burglary.
“They remain in custody at the current time.”

Following the incident, Daniel Scammel, 37, who works at the video store – told the Echo: “Staff are upset and obviously we’re going to have to close for a short time which is a loss of income.
“We just want to get back to normal as soon as we can but it’s about opening as safely as possible rather than as soon as possible.
“The police are doing their investigation and we’d like to thank everyone for their concern.”
