Three separate T-Mobile stores broken into
ST. LOUIS – T-Mobile stores around the St. Louis area experienced an overnight crime spree.
Around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, the glass on the front door at the T-Mobile store on Chippewa Street near Hampton Avenue was shattered. Police have not confirmed if anything has been taken yet.
“I know that that was more of a regional thing we had (with) locations in the city and surrounding areas of the county that had stores impacted,” Sgt. Charles Wall, St. Louis Metropolitan Police, said. “I don’t have information on what may have been taken. Certainly, those are things the investigators are going to look into and anytime things like this happen regionally happens, we always work with surrounding agencies, our counterparts in the county and the prosecutors in the county as well.”
