Ten Monroe businesses in strip malls north of State Route 2 were found burglarized early Friday morning.
A Monroe Police news release reports calls started coming in from businesses between Old Owen Road and State Route 522 around 4:30 a.m. Sept. 28.
All were hit in the same way: someone smashed the windows to gain entry and went looking for cash, either late Thursday night or early Friday morning. Officers discovered several of the burglaries while investigating others, the release states.
Some, but not all businesses reported cash taken from their registers, according to the news release.
One surveillance video reviewed by investigators shows a man with a covered face, wearing a hoodie and jeans come into a store and attempt to open a cash register.
The case remains under investigation, and anyone with information regarding these burglaries is asked to contact MPD at 360-794-6300, or the tip line at 360-863-4600.
