ANCHORAGE — A person dressed as a ninja burglarized an Anchorage card shop Friday night. The break-in was captured on security cameras.
The ninja suspect broke into the Spenard Bosco’s some time after closing, according to Erich Helmick, a staff member.

Helmick said he and others are checking the store’s inventory, but that so far it seems only a white katana sword was taken.
“The sword was the only thing we could make out well enough on the video to say for sure,” he added.
He said the point of entry for the suspect was damaged, but said he couldn’t elaborate further for security reasons.
“It was one of our first priorities yesterday morning and within a few hours we had it fixed,” he wrote in an email. “The point of entry was the only damage we found.”
A report has been filed with the Anchorage Police Department, Helmick confirmed.
“APD was amazing,” he said in his email. “They arrived very quickly and were incredibly professional. It was fun watching them on the video footage go about what must have been a very hair raising task.”
He said he was in no rush to hear back from police, who also investigated a fatal officer-involved shooting Saturday morning.
“I’m sure once they have time to process the troubling things that happened last night (this morning) they will get back to smaller matters like ours,” Helmick said.
Anyone with information about the burglary or the ninja suspect’s identity is encouraged to call Anchorage police at 907-786-8900, or email Bosco’s.
