A serial burglar is hitting Cox’s Smokers Outlets all over town and St. Matthews Police hope new video will help catch him.

The video shows a white man wearing a ski mask break into the Cox’s on Hubbards Lane, dragging two large trash cans with him.

He dumps dozens of cigarette cartons into the cans, then drags them back outside and takes watches from a jewelry stand.

St. Matthews Police say stolen cigarettes are big business on the black market.

St. Matthews Police say they are working with Louisville Metro Police because of similar break-in's at other Cox’s stores.

Anyone with information can call St. Matthews Police at 893-9000.
