They say the clerk intervened and the suspect pushed him several times before leaving the store empty-handed.
A few minutes later, the same suspect reportedly went to another store nearby.
Investigators say a clerk was offered $20 for two packs of cigarettes but refused.
They say the clerk was then pushed by the suspect, who went behind the counter and stole five packs of cigarettes before fleeing.
