Authorities are seeking information on a burglary that occurred last month in Columbus, Ohio, and are asking for the public's help identifying a suspect. On the evening of December 16, 2024, an unknown male, using what a witness believes to have been a Nissan Maxima, forced entry into a local business in the 4200 block of Morse Rd. According to a Columbus Division of Police report, the suspect smashed a window to enter the establishment without leaving any details untouched.

Once inside, the thief wasted no time swiftly taking money from the counter area. Not content with that, I proceeded to pry open an Ohio Lottery Keno machine to secure additional funds. The Columbus Police Department has not released the exact amount of cash taken, but they are treating the incident as a significant property crime. They have asked for assistance and are asking anyone with knowledge of the suspect's identity to come forward.
