Officers obtained surveillance video that showed two suspects forcibly enter the business and steal three boxes of alcohol, valued at approximately $1,700.
In a separate incident on May 30, 2023, two suspects smashed the front door of a business in the 3800 block of Dougall Ave. The masked suspects were captured on video surveillance stealing over $2,000 in lottery tickets and $1,200 in cigarettes.
