Smash And Grab

A number of Bryan businesses are targeted in a crime spree that stretched from Toledo to Defiance County. This happened early Thursday morning, officials confirm. Officers were dispatched to Wick’s Par-T-Pak on W. High St, on a burglary call. Minutes later…they responded to a report of vandalism at the neighboring Tri-State Swap Shop. Detectives are calling it a smash and grab job. The Cashland on E. South Street got hit, too. They add…it looks like the same suspects are behind it all. Federal officials say…the group also burglarized another Bryan business and stole 18 firearms from a Defiance County outlet…around the same time. They say…at least three suspects drove a stolen car into a wall…that’s how they got access to those guns. The investigation continues.
