WARREN A convenience store in Warren that was recently boarded up has been broken into, according to police.

Information is limited at this time, but a call log from the Warren Police Department reveals that officers were called to the Convenient Food Mart on Elm Road just before 8 a.m. Tuesday.

The call log categorizes the nature of the report as a burglary and simply reads, "Someone broke in last night."

A police report states that the drive-thru window was pulled out, the window was shattered and there was a large rock laying on the pavement. 

Additionally, police say inside the store, a Newport cigarette drawer was pulled out with a few cigarettes lying on the floor, but the rest were gone.

Police say the cameras were disabled because the master cable for the cameras and the internet were cut, and a meter was also removed from the building.

Convenient Food Mart has been closed since August of 2025 following a deadly shooting that claimed the life of 31-year-old David Lee Owens III and left another man injured. A temporary restraining order (TRO) was soon granted for the building, forcing the store to temporarily shut down.

Following the shutdown, a petition entitled "Save Our Store" was created with the goal of keeping the store open.
