Sheriff's Office Investigating Burglary

Dec 16, 2020 - 9:05am

On December 15, 2020, at 7:10 AM, a suspect burglarized a Coin Laundry business located in the 300 block of Main Street. He walked into the business, opened the breaker panel to turn off all breakers, then proceeded to the coin machine. He pulled a cordless saw out of his jacket and began cutting holes into the drywall next to the coin machine. The area of the wall the suspect cut allowed access to the back of the coin machine where the money was stored. The suspect immediately left the laundromat when another male entered the store and confronted him. 

The suspect is described as a white male in his 50s-60s, with gray hair, wearing an orange and black face mask, black jacket, blue jeans, dark-colored work boots, and gray and black gloves. 

The suspect vehicle is described as a silver over dark gray or black pickup truck, with a light-colored box in the bed of the truck. 

Attached to this media release are still images obtained from the video surveillance footage.

Any information may prove valuable in solving the case. If you recognize the suspect or vehicle or have any information of this crime you are urged to contact the Sheriff's Office Patrol Tip Line at 719-520-7777 and reference case #20-14334.
