The Juneau Police Department is investigating a burglary that took place early Sunday morning at the Safeway fuel station, according to a news release from a police spokesperson.
“On April 4, 2021 at about 6:35 a.m., the Juneau Police Department received a report of a burglary at the Safeway Fuel Station located on Vintage Boulevard,” said Lt. Krag Campbell in the release. “Employees reported the glass entry door of the fuel station was broken into sometime during the night and about $500 in cigarettes and cigars were stolen.”
The police issued a general description of the suspect from video of the crime, which occurred at roughly 4:30 a.m. that morning.
“The suspect appears to be a male, about 6-foot-1 to 6-foot-3 and with a medium build,” Campbell said. “A photo of the suspect was taken from the video surveillance and is now posted on the JPD Facebook page. JPD is asking for community assistance in identifying the person in the photo.”
