Vehicle Burglary, Lacrosse, WI After Brooklyn Ctr Moon Show

The following is a release from the National Crime Information Center

On October 12, 2014 a LaCrosse, WI coin dealer was the victim of a vehicle burglary after returning from the MOON Coin Show in Brooklyn Center, MN. The victim parked behind his shop and walked around to enter from the front. As soon as the victim was out of sight a suspect who was talking on a cell phone and wearing gloves approached the vehicle and used some type of tool to crack the window. The suspect removed one tote from the vehicle and jumped into a getaway vehicle occupied by two other suspects.

A review of the video indicates the suspects waited outside the store for four hours prior to the dealer's arrival from the show, which was an hour and a half away. The suspects appeared to be of Hispanic/Central American descent and driving a Maroon Volvo XC-90.



Fortunately nothing of value was inside the tote. However, based on the circumstances the victim feels that he was targeted while at the show.
