ABC Store Break-In

Around 8:00 this morning, police were called to the ABC Store located near University City Boulevard and 9600 Old Concord Rd. The call was for a break-in that had occurred there. The suspects stole several bottles of liquor and threw a large rock through the window to steal an entire display case of mini liquor bottles.

Photographer Jonathan Jones was on-scene to capture police using K-9 dogs to track the suspects' scent. The CMPD K-9 dog tracked the suspects to a set of abandoned homes at the 9900 block of Old Concord Rd. Police captured one man and Jones got a picture of him sitting in the back of a police car, waiting for witnesses to identify him. Jones spoke with a neighbor who told him the abandoned homes in the area are a big problem for vagrants and other criminal activity.
