Police seek tips about downtown burglary

The Juneau Police Department is looking for help in solving an October burglary.

At about 10:45 a.m. on Oct. 22, JPD received the report of a burglary at a business in the 500 block of South Franklin Street. The unknown suspect or suspects entered the building through an unlocked window, causing minor damage to the screen and the window itself. The suspect or suspects then went through the business looking for items to steal, according to the JPD press release.

It’s unclear whether anything of value was taken, and JPD did not disclose the name of the business or any physical description of the suspect or suspects.

Anyone with information can log on to the Juneau Crime Line website or call the Juneau Crime Line at 523-7700 or JPD at 500-0600. Callers might be eligible for a reward, and are guaranteed anonymity. Crime Line is a nonprofit organization designed to help police agencies in their investigations.
