The hole truth

110833861

Law enforcement officials are hoping to capture a person who used a hole in a wall to burglarize a Marconi East business.

Police responded to a 12:40 a.m. call Feb. 8 and headed to Thundertech, 631 Oregon Ave., engaging with the proprietor, who told them of a forced open side door leading to an unoccupied second-floor apartment, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The at-large individual them made a hole leading to the rear of the establishment, with video surveillance showing the criminal, whose face and hands were covered, using the opening to gain access at 12:30 a.m.

The figure, Tolliver said, removed money from a cash drawer and four cell phones that were undergoing repairs before escaping through the hole.
