Galesburg Police on Tuesday night (September 13th) responded to an alarm at the US Gas convenience store at 21-21 East Main Street. The glass front door to the store was damaged – as if something was thrown through it.
Police attempted to contact the owner with negative results, and officers continued to check the area for possible suspects. About three hours later around 2:00 am on Wednesday, police checked on the building and discovered the front glass door now was completely shattered. Officers then noticed that several display cases inside were damaged and items were scattered throughout the building. Police were able to meet with the owner who said she wasn’t sure what all was taken, but cash was missing from a cash register. At the time of the police report, officers were still awaiting security footage from the incident. The incident remains under investigation.
