Man cuts his way into grocery store to nab cash
DAYTON - Police are looking for a man who cut his way into a local grocery store and emptied the cash registers of nearly $3,000 early Monday morning, March 16.
Officers responded to an alarm at the Nabalis IGA, 2288 N. Gettysburg Ave., at about 12:30 a.m. and did not find any signs of forced entry, according to a police report. The doors were all locked and officers didn’t notice anything going on inside so they cleared the scene at about 1 a.m., the report stated.
The store’s owner did not respond to the alarm notification, but when he arrived to open the store at 7 a.m., he found the cash registers were emptied, the report stated.
Officers later found the burglar had cut a 2 feet, by 1 foot hole at the rear of the building to gain entry, the report stated. The suspect also cut a hole in the milk cooler to gain access to the inside of the store.
Cameras inside the store captured the suspect scaling overhead fixtures to climb down onto the floor of the store, the report stated. The man is seen through video emptying the cash registers, which contained a total of $3,000.
The suspect, described as a black male, about 6-feet tall and weighing 180 pounds, also took cartons of cigarettes, the report stated. He is still at large.
Anyone with information is urged to call 333-COPS.
