LOWER POTTSGROVE — Police are investigating an overnight burglary and are asking for help from the public.
Around 2 a.m. on Thursday, township police arrived at the K-Mart at 2200 E. High Street after a security alarm went off, according to a press release from the department.
When officers arrived, they used a K-9 unit to help secure a perimeter around the store and conduct a search, police said.
The suspect, however, had fled the scene.
After an investigation, police determined the suspect broke into the store and smashed a jewelry case before stealing a large amount of merchandise.
Police are not releasing the total value of the merchandise taken at this time, according to the release.
The suspect was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and a “Scream” style white mask over his face. He was carrying either a pink or red bag along with a small club or a bat.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Lower Pottsgrove Police Department at 610-326-1508.
Township police were assisted by officers from Pottstown, Limerick, and Royersford Police departments.
