“Upon out arrival, our units noticed there was forced entry on the outside of the mall as well as the interior,” said Sgt. Glenn Moore from the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office. “Several cases were broken into inside [the store] and [there were] several missing items.”

Ohio Valley Mall Property Manager George Diab said that mall security guards were the first to notice that someone had broken into the store and they reported the incident to police. Diab said a security alarm inside the store was also activated.

Police from several agencies, including the Belmont County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio BCI&I remained at the scene collecting evidence until 10:30 a.m. Friday Morning.
