When maintenance workers arrived on site and unlocked a sliding gate at the rear of a business, they immediately noticed a flat screen television leaning against the building, along with a bag containing several unopened liquor bottles. The workers called the building owner and returned to their vehicle where they then noticed missing glass on the south side of the building.

When the owner arrived, workers led him to the rear where the television and liquor bottles were originally seen, only to find them gone. It was at this time they called police. Upon viewing surveillance tapes police believe the suspect kicked in a glass insert on the south side door. Once inside the suspect tore the flat screen television from the wall, leaving a partial shoe print atop a table. The suspect then went behind the bar and proceeded to remove numerous liquor bottles from the cabinets. An attempt was then made to steal a second flat screen TV, but it appears the television was damaged in the attempt. The suspects were most likely still inside when maintenance workers arrived, but fled when the worker went to back to their vehicle.

A search for evidence left little to be found. Video footage shows the suspects wearing gloves, leaving no fingerprints or clear footprints behind. No trace evidence was left at the scene.
