Convenience Store Burglary


October 8, 2018

On October 5, 2018 surveillance video captured images shortly after 4 a.m. of an unidentified individual and a blue Dodge pick-up truck at the Marathon convenience store located at 20551 NE Hwy 27 Alternate in East Williston. This unknown person smashed the front window and entered the store. It appears the suspect only was interested in cigarettes, as the store reports over $10,000 dollars of Newport brand cigarette cartons were stolen.  

Investigators are asking for our public’s help in identifying the person responsible, or the vehicle used in this burglary. The truck has a very unique rack built into the bed of the truck which could aid in identifying the owner. Anyone who has information is asked to contact Investigator C.J. Perryman at 352-486-5111 ext. 276. Callers who wish to remain anonymous can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-877-349-8477. You could be eligible for a cash reward.
