When police were investigating, they received multiple burglary alarms from that gas station. Just before an officer arrived, investigators say cash and several cartons of cigarettes were stolen from the store.
Surveillance video showed a person in a ski mask, a black hooded sweatshirt and gloves steal the vehicle earlier in the night, then come back two hours later and break into the business, stealing the money and cigarettes.

A Marshfield officer who was investigating "observed a suspect walking in the area," police said. He was identified as 19-year-old Aidan Boyle of Marshfield.
Boyle was found to have "a black hooded sweatshirt, gloves, a ski mask, a large amount of cash and several cartons of cigarettes" on him, according to the department.
Marshfield police arrested Boyle, who is charged with breaking and entering in the nighttime with intent to commit a felony, larceny of a motor vehicle and malicious destruction of property. Additional charges were pending in Duxbury, police noted, adding that he was held on $25,000 cash bail.
Boyle was set to be arraigned Thursday at Plymouth District Court. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney who could address the charges against him.
