He stole regularly in Miami and he always went straight for that nicotine. Officers considered him to be armed and dangerous. Police arrested 31-year-old Angel Llanes after a Crime Stoppers tip led officers to his home. That was after, according to police, Llanes pulled a cigarette heist at a Family Dollar store located at 3 Northeast 54th Street in Miami on Monday afternoon.
