GAINES TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A teen is in custody after a break-in at a Gaines Township tobacco shop early Monday morning.

The Kent County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) says the incident happened near Kalamazoo Avenue and Marketplace Drive at around 2 a.m.

KCSO says pry marks were discovered at a nearby business.
