Help identify bizarre burglar who targeted VFW

Published Mon, 16 Dec 2024 20:38:17 GMT

HAWK POINT, Mo. – A burglar struck Hawk Point VFW Post 7560 on the morning of New Year’s Eve and may have attempted to cover his tracks with a fire.“Why pick on the VFW?” Quartermaster Mike Norman said. “He walked with a crowbar in one hand; gas can in the other hand.”Surveillance video shows his face is mostly covered with a bandana, but his unique hoodie may give him away. It appears to be a Hard Rock Café zip-up, picturing a guitar with wings.He reportedly hit five machines, with about $800 in each one. From the video, it looks like he knew exactly what he was doing, striking each machine in a spot that appeared to pop out the cash container.“He had to have been here before,” Norman said. “He knew how to get into the games.”Police believe the burglar may have intended to burn the place down, a move that appears to have left the biggest clue.

ST. LOUIS – St. Louis firefighters are urging people to pay attention to where they are parking, especially if it is near a fire hydrant. You could end up with a ticket on your windshield, like two cars on Kensington Place, where firefighters said the cars created obstacles during a recent house fire."We did have two cars parked not directly in front of the hydrant, but there was maybe a foot-wide space between two cars that we were able to squeeze the hose through to the hydrant for our water source," Battalion Chief Mike Killingsworth said.Firefighters said they see more people parking in front of fire hydrants during the winter months."They get in a hurry, they get in a rush, and don't want to drive the extra 10 or 20 feet to park in a legal spot. So, the first open spot is normally in front of a fire hydrant," Chief Dennis Jenkerson said. When is Missouri & Illinois getting snow?
