UPDATE: 1:32 p.m. - April 15, 2024
The Missoula Police Department reports that the suspects in a pair of reported business break-ins at the Grant Creek Town Center have yet to be identified.
An investigation into the April 9, 2024, incidents is continuing.
(first report: 5:15 p.m. - April 11, 2024)
A pair of Missoula businesses were broken into earlier this week and several hundred dollars was reportedly stolen.
Managers at Nutrition on Reserve and Taco Del Sol say the break-ins happened sometime between 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Grant Creek Town Center on North Reserve Street.
A manager told MTN that a hammer was used to punch a hole in Nutrition on Reserve from inside a jewelry store next door and that $200 was taken. One suspect was caught on a security camera, but the person’s identity isn’t known at this time, a manager says.
Several hours later, a manager says the Taco Del Sol in the same shopping plaza was broken into after a rock was thrown through a front window and several hundred dollars was stolen.
It’s not clear if the two businesses were targeted, but one manager told us a person had been seen hanging around the area before the break-ins, possibly in a dark green SUV.
MTN reached out to the Missoula Police Department but they were unable to confirm any details the managers shared with us.
