TOLEDO, Ohio — Toledo police are investigating a burglary in which multiple suspects allegedly stole as much as a million dollars' worth of fur coats and clothing from a local sale.
Law enforcement said in a report they were dispatched to the Hampton Inn at 3434 Secor Road Thursday regarding the burglary. Police were informed a suspect broke into a banquet room that had been rented to Day Furs - a company that deals in the sale of fur coats and clothing - for a local sale event.
Police reviewed surveillance video, which showed three suspects making several trips into the banquet room to steal fur clothing Thursday morning. In a full report, police said one suspect parked a vehicle behind the building at 5:14 a.m., then smashed the exterior window to the banquet room and stole a "truck load" of fur coats and accessories, then fled the location.
Later, surveillance video showed the first suspect return with two others at 7:34 a.m. All three suspects entered the banquet room again through the same window and stole another truck load of fur coats, police said.
An employee of Day Furs who had been present at the location told police the loss was between $500,000 and $1 million.
WTOL 11 requested the surveillance video of the incident from Toledo police, but a TPD spokesperson said video would not be released at this time.
