Seligman Police Department investigating burglaries, stolen car

May 7, 2015
Charlea Mills

        The Seligman Police Department is investigating a string of burglaries and a car theft that occurred sometme Tuesday or Wednesday.
        Seligman Police Chief Terry Burgess confirmed that there have been three reports of burglaries in residential areas and one car theft this week. Burgess said, “We think that the burglaries are all connected, but not the stolen car.”
        Two of the burglaries took place on Roller Ridge Road and the other on Main Street in Seligman sometime between Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, May 5 and 6. In all cases, the culprit targeted garages. Burgess said, “They gained access through forced entry and unlocked doors to get inside, so I want to take this opportunity to remind people to keep your garages and houses locked to prevent the opportunity.”
        Stolen items included power tools, chain saws and air compressors. Burgess estimated the value of the stolen items at between $7,000 and $8,000. He said, “We want these people to their stuff back, so we’re asking for tips that lead to the arrest of the suspect and recovery of the stolen items.”
        Burgess said that the department is not sure as to whether one person acted alone or if there was more than one person involved. The quantity and size of some of the stolen property would indicate that the burglar either had to make multiple trips or had help moving items.
        During the day on Tuesday, May 6, there was also a car stolen from inside the Seligman city limits. A black Dodge Neon was stolen from a mechanic shop on Highway 37 near the car wash.
        Burgess said, “Don’t forget to lock your doors and keep your possessions secure in your house, garage and cars. We also encourage people to write down serial numbers and store them separate from the items because it aids in the recovery of property in the event that it is stolen.”
        Anyone with information related to the burglaries or stolen car is encouraged to contact the Seligman Police Department either through central dispatch at (417) 847-4911 or the Seligman City Hall (417) 662-3600. Tipsters can remain anonymous.
