Juneau police are asking for the public’s help in finding a masked thief who recently broke into a downtown liquor store and made off with $3,600 in cigarettes.
Officers responded to an alarm at Thibodeau’s Home Liquor in Juneau around 1:16 a.m. on Aug. 31.
After watching surveillance video, according to a release from the Juneau Crimeline, police discovered that a person wearing a mask and light-colored Under Armor sweatshirt with a green hood had smashed a window using a rock and gained entry into the store.
The surveillance video shows the thief unsuccessfully attempting to break into two different cash registers before eventually making off with a box of American Spirit cigarettes valued at $3,600.
Police report that the person also had “dark hair, several inches long in the front” and was wearing “skater shoes and blue jeans.”
Anyone with information is encouraged to log on to the Juneau Crime Line web site and report their tip or call JPD at 586-0600. You may be eligible for a reward.
