Muldrow Police Chief Tony Lewis said Pat's Food Store on the corner of U.S. Highway 64 and Fargo in Muldrow was the target of burglars on two occasions, the latest of which occurred Sunday.
The first burglary occurred on the night of July 12 when a male entered the store through the front by breaking the glass. The burglar stole cigarettes before fleeing the scene.
The second burglary occurred Sunday night when two males broke into the store the same way as the July 12 incident, but this time the store's alarm didn't sound.
"They made a couple of entries that night," Lewis said, noting that the men stole between $600 and $700 in merchandise, including beer and tobacco products.
In both instances, video surveillance caught the men, who wore masks, on tape. Lewis believes that the two burglaries are linked.
"We believe we may have them identified from physical evidence left at the scene," Lewis said. Anyone with any information is urged to call the department's CrimeStoppers hotline at (918) 427-0000. He said the department is offering a small reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspects.
