Brazen burglars hit O'Reilly Auto Parts

Police would not reveal how much money was missing.

“Let’s just say it was more than $1,000,” said Lt. Ken Harmon, head of the department’s criminal investigative division.

The store’s surveillance system captured the image of two males entering the store at 4:07 a.m. One headed to the tools aisle and the other to the right side of the store, according to an officer’s report on the incident.
The store manager pointed out that the alarm system on the front door goes off 45 seconds after entry, but that neither he nor 911 got a call from the security company after the break-in.
That’s because the thieves severed phone lines, according to the incident report.

The video shows one of the men walk to the rear door in the store room, after which the video goes blank.

“They knew what they were doing,” Harmon noted. “They went in there with definite intent and took tools off the shelves (to extricate and open the safe). They definitely had it figured out.”

Harmon added that the duo “definitely knew exactly what they could get away with inside that building.”
