The suspect was gone when they arrived, but police say the burglar entered through a roof vent, breaking through ceiling tiles, after ransacking the store, the suspect made off with four pairs of shoes and cash from the register.
Medford police Lieutenant Mike Budreau says its important to think like a burglar when assessing the safety of your business or home.
“Try to think of your business and any and all ways in because these burglars are motivated and they will take the time to find a way in.”
