BELMONT — Thousands of dollars worth of mobile communications devices were stolen from the US Cellular store at the Belknap Mall sometime overnight Monday, Belmont police reported Tuesday.
The theft was reported to police at 9:20 a.m. shortly after the store manager arrived to open the store for the day.
Detectives were able to determine that someone entered the store by force and stole approximately $15,000 worth of electronic devices, Belmont Police Capt. Rich Mann said.
Two detectives remained at the store for much of the day looking for evidence and getting a more precise account of just how much and which kinds of electronic equipment was stolen. They were also canvassing the area for available surveillance videos.
The store was close for business while police conducted their on-site investigation.
Officers will try to do whatever they can to locate the stolen items, Mann said.
Mann asked anyone who may have been in or around the Belknap Mall around 9 p.m. Monday and saw anything unusual near the US Cellular store (the former Blockbuster location) to call the Belmont Police Department at 603-267-8350.
