Columbia Police are investigating what are believed to be "related break-ins" on Russell Road within the last week.
Beginning on Monday, April 6th, a local business was the victim of a burglary while it was closed. Then on Monday, April 13th, a neighboring business was the target of one individual attempting to force entry before fleeing when a security alarm was triggered. After observing camera footage, the subject appeared to have came from the vicinity of Carrie Bolin Drive and Hanley Lane on foot and walking behind the office buildings to avoid Russell Road.
If anyone has any information on the identity of this individual, please contact Columbia City Police at 270-384-4119.
