TAMPA - Police say they have arrested one of the men who busted into a Tampa cigar shop last week.

Jeremia Martinez Cotto was arrested Tuesday evening at a home on Henry Avenue after detectives matched his fingerprints with those found at Gaspar's Cigar Shoppe on Westshore.

Cotto, 18, allegedly admitted to burglarizing the store, and investigators say he had a cigar and humidor in his room.

The Friday night crime was caught on surveillance tape. Detectives are still looking for the second suspect.
