This past Sunday, District 4 officers received a call for a burglary at a St. Louis Place liquor store. A detective in an umarked police car arrived on scene and established surveillance until marked police cars could arrive. The detective observed several suspects unloading multiple cases of alcoholic beverages from the liquor store, into a pick-up truck and then leave the scene.
The detective followed the suspects to a nearby house, where officers were able to take one suspect into custody and recover the pictured stolen items. Two additional suspects made good their escape, but the investigation remains ongoing.
