TOLEDO, OH (Toledo News Now) -
Thieves
have gone to desperate measures to rip off five local stores. Toledo Police say
they need help putting those responsible behind bars.
Police
say they believe a pair of suspects has been targeting Family Dollar and Dollar
General stores in the area. They want what's inside so bad, they throw their
bodies right through the glass door.
TPD
began noticing the smash-and-grabs about three weeks ago. The most recent
occurred Monday morning.
Surveillance
video from a Family Dollar in October shows what police believe is one person
serving as a lookout while the other went into the store, knocked over the
cigarette storage display, and loaded up.
"This
is a very determined person, and pretty reckless in his actions," said Sgt. Joe
Heffernan. "So this is somebody that we need to figure out who it is and get
them behind bars."
Police
say the incidents have been occurring between midnight and 6 a.m.
Anyone
with information on the robberies is asked to call Crimestopper at 419-255-1111.
