Law Enforcement Is Looking for Area Burglar

Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) - The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s help in tracking down the person who broke into a convenience store last week.

Captain Scott Behrns says the break-in took place in the early morning hours of March 8, at Jeff’s Little Store, along Highway 52 in Marion in the southeast part of the county.

Behrns says the burglar or burglars made off with a few packs of cigarettes. He says a reciprocating saw that had been taken during a burglary in the Byron area in December was left behind.

Although the surveillance system was disabled in the latest burglary, investigators were able to come up with a video and some photographs of a possible suspect.

If you recognize this person, you’re asked to contact Crimestoppers of Olmsted County, text message to CRIMES (274637), or call 1.800.222.TIPS (8477)..
