The Value Village on 85th and 15th was burglarized at around 3:30 a.m. on January 23rd. The complainant said that he arrived at the store to find that a brick had been thrown through the glass front door. The burglar only took an ivory Asian artifact, which had a listed price of $1500 but had been appraised at $8000. The artifact was kept in a glass case near the front of the store.

Surveillance video showed a man about 6 feet tall wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and gloves. The suspect threw the brick through the door, entered the store, and went directly to the artifact in the case. Police believe the suspect knew the case was unlocked and was specifically targeting the artifact.

A man called police after he and his wife returned home from vacation to find that their home had been burglarized. The burglar entered the house through a back window and did not leave any prints.

The suspect appears to only have looked in places where jewelry was likely to be stored, and did not leave any fingerprints on any drawers or jewelry boxes. The victims believe the suspect left through the back door because it was unlocked when they returned home.
