BELLVILLE P.D. LOOKING FOR JEWELRY STORE BURGLAR

  

Bellville Police are searching for a burglar who struck a local business over the weekend.

Early Saturday morning, police responded to an alarm at Michelle's Jewelry on South Holland Street in Bellville.

Upon arrival, police found the front glass window had been broken with asphalt rocks.  Two glass display cases had been smashed with a hatchet that was left at the scene.  An undisclosed number of items were taken.

Video surveillance showed the burglar was a white male with brown hair, wearing black Nike shoes, grey shorts with orange or red stripes, a black and grey long sleeve shirt, and was also wearing a blue cover over his face.  The suspect also had gloves on.

He was also carrying what appeared to be a Dallas Cowboy pillow case where he stashed the stolen jewelry.

Police say the subject was in and out of the store quickly.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Bellville Police Department at (979) 865-3122
