On Wednesday morning, (May 1, 2019) at approximately 1:30 AM an unknown individual entered Manchester Tobacco and Beverage on the Hillsboro Blvd beside First National Bank and stole an undisclosed amount of money. This subject also filled a bag with cartons of cigarettes and packages of smokeless tobacco.
The subject appears to be a male that is approximately 5ft 10inches and weighs around 130-170 pounds. The male subject was wearing a dark green Under Armour hoodie, with a yellow bandana around his face and gray gloves.
Manchester Police reports that the subject exited the business and walked down Buck St. and entered a car that was waiting for him that appeared to be occupied by an additional person, who was driving. The car appears to be a dark color sedan; the make and model are unknown at this time but this story will be updated as more information becomes available.
After a short delay, the car entered onto Hillsboro Blvd off of Buck Street and proceeded to travel north on the Hillsboro Blvd.

At a recent Coffee County Board of Education work session meeting, the board voted 4-2 to give county teachers a raise of 1 percent over step raises.
Gary Nester and Chairman Brett Henley voted no. Henley said, “I’m all about giving raises but not raises with money we don’t have on paper.” This plan would reduce the fund balance by just over $1 million.
The district business manager said that if all the money that is expected to come into the county, does come in, there should be no reduction in the fund balance but did acknowledge that there are multiple ifs.
The county commission must approve the budget before it goes into effect.
The school system is also in need of 4 new buses and will be asking the county commission for the funds, but there is no guarantee.
