The attempted break-in involved the culprits entering through an adjacent business, creating a path through multiple walls to reach the store’s safe. This daring attempt left neighboring businesses damaged, their operations disrupted and employees temporarily out of work due to the extensive clean-up required.

As the investigation continued with officers securing the area, they utilized a firetruck ladder to inspect potential escape routes on the building’s roof. While additional suspects remain at large, authorities have assured the public of no imminent threat.

The parking lot of the shopping center was reopened around 7 a.m., allowing access for customers and employees as normalcy began to return.
