The Detroit Police Department is seeking assistance from the public in identifying two suspects linked to break-ins at two coffee shops on Rosa Parks Boulevard and John R Road. As reported by The Detroit News, the incidents occurred early in the morning on successive days, first on Sunday and then on Monday.
According to descriptions provided by the police, the first suspect is a man, possibly around 40 years old, with long hair. He was wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt and black shorts during the time of the break-ins. Captured on a Ring video camera, the second suspect broke into a coffee shop on John R road, appears to be in his teens, and was last seen wearing a blue hooded sweatshirt, tan shorts, and white gym shoes. The detailed descriptions are intended to aid in the prompt identification of suspects responsible for stealing an undisclosed amount of cash and a cash register.
FOX 2 Detroit further specified that the first break-in was at a coffee shop located on the 9300 block of Rosa Parks Boulevard around 3:05 a.m. Sunday. The suspects returned to loot another coffee shop on the 9400 block of John R on Monday, approximately at 5:12 a.m., still donned in the same attire as the day before.
A surveillance image, as shared by the Detroit Police and cited by WWJ Newsradio 950, caught one suspect carrying a hammer during the second break-in.
