New Bedford Police have arrested a suspect in connection with a cigarette robbery last week.

Detective Captain Steven Vicente says David Cote is accused of stealing four packs of cigarettes from the Lucky 7 variety store at 701 Cottage Street.

Police say Cote entered the store on September 25th and handed the clerk a debit card to pay for the cigarettes.

When the clerk scanned the card it was declined.

Cote then allegedly grabbed the cigarettes as she was attempting to retrieve them and ran off.

He was arrested Thursday morning and is being charged with Unarmed Robbery.
