NC burglary suspects struggle with security officer during escape
Burlington NC Dec 8 2017 Burlington police say four people are connected to a theft from a machine at a sweepstakes establishment.
According to police, it happened around 2 a.m. on Wednesday at the ‘Feeling Lucky’ business on the 2000 block of North Church Street.
Police say a security guard struggled with one suspect stealing money. Officers were able to determine that one of them “defeated the locking mechanism” and stole an undetermined amount of money.
The three other suspects are considered people of interest.
In a press release, police described the subjects as:
A light-skinned black male, 5’06”-5’08”, 140-160 pounds, with long dreds with blonde tips, wearing a black, zip-up jacket, black t-shirt, blue Nike shorts
A medium-toned black male, 6’01”-6’03”, 180-200 pounds, with short dark hair, wearing a black sweat suit
A light-skinned black male, 5’08”-5’10”, 180-200 pounds, wearing blue jeans and a brown and grey jacket and a beanie
A fair-skinned white female, 5’06”-5’08”, 120-140 pounds, with long dark hair, wearing a black, long sleeved shirt and dark blue jeans
“It was later determined that this same group was spotted at other sweepstakes businesses in the BMOC shopping center and in Kernersville attempting to carry out the same crime,” police say.
The Burlington Police Department is actively seeking anyone with information about this crime.
“We ask that you contact the Burlington Police Department at (336) 229-3500. For anonymous methods, call Alamance County-Wide Crimestoppers at (336) 229-7100 or text 8398 to 274637 for a text-a-tip method, both with possible cash rewards,” a press release said.
