Sunriver Marketplace burglar targets smokes
Sunriver police released photos and surveillance video Tuesday in hopes the public can help them find a burglar who broke into a store early Sunday and stole cigarettes, cigars and lighters.
The Marketplace Store was broken into on Sunday between 12:30 and 12:45 a.m., causing about $1,000 damage in doing so, said Chief Mark Mills.
The burglar took about 40 packs of Marlboro cigarettes, about 20 cigars and a box of lighters.
The burglar “could certainly have done more damage and taken more,” Mills said.
Store surveillance cameras caught the male suspect, described as about 5-foot-8 to 5-10, weighing about 185 to 200 pounds. He last was seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and tan hiking or work-style boots.
Police also are looking for the driver and occupants of a late, dark-colored late 80s-mid 90s series Ford Supercab pickup which pulled up to the front of the store shortly before the burglary, Mills said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Sunriver police at 541-593-1014 or Deschutes County dispatchers at 541-693-6911. You can remain anonymous.
