Police Investigate Burglary Of OKC Business

Police are looking for those responsible for breaking into an Oklahoma City business and stealing multiple items, including a pickup truck.

According to police, on May 24, officers responded to the report of a burglary at Premier Metal Finishing, located at 640 N. Meridian Avenue. The owner of the business told police that at about 11 a.m., he was notified that gate was down and items were missing.

The owner said his 2001 white Dodge 3500 Dually pickup with a welder's flatbed was missing. The pickup had a sand blaster box on its back. Police said it is possible the suspect used the truck to also take the trailer-mounted Airman air compressor. The compressor is pale green in color and it possibly still has Crossroads Rental stickers on the sides.

Police believe the suspect entered the property by scaling the fence. The suspect also took a Craftsman full-size tool box with tools, along with several other items.

The suspect then destroyed the gate by driving the pickup truck through it.

On Wednesday, June 3, police released a surveillance video of a man walking around the yard of the business while it was closed. If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers at (405)-235-7300. Callers can remain anonymous and may earn a cash reward.
