The Horizon Market, a new grocery store that opened last year to serve the Tarentum community, was broken into late on Friday night by two masked juveniles. The suspects smashed through the front door and stole CBD and vape products before fleeing. The store owner, Cameron Yockey, is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the suspects' capture, and police are investigating the incident.

Incidents of property crime can undermine community trust and deter investment in neighborhoods. However, the store owner's commitment to consequences for the perpetrators and the community's support suggest resilience in the face of this setback.

Police are investigating the incident, but the juveniles remain at large.
