UK (Parliament Politics Magazine) – The Brookings Police Department is urging the public to come forward with information as officers work to solve an ongoing investigation.
A masked man is seen snatching a Salvation Army donation pail from the entrance counter of the Perkins Restaurant in Brookings, US on December 9th, according to surveillance footage.
After that, the man is observed heading north via conterminous parking areas and into McCrory auditoriums.
The person in question was identified as a Caucasian male holding a black bag with a tan bottom, dark trousers, boots, tan gloves, and a black face disguise.
Anyone with information can call the Brookings Police Department at 605-696-5308 or Crime Stoppers at 692-STOP (7867).
Which witnesses have been interviewed so far?
No specific substantiations have been intimately linked or verified as canvassed in any ongoing Brookings Police Department disquisition as of December 25, 2025, grounded on available reports.
Recent Brookings PD cases, similar as the December 5 beast atrocity arrest of Timothy Heaton or the December 16 officer- involved firing( ruled justified), don’t mention substantiation interviews in public updates; no active appeal details named individualities or statements.
Without a matching open case seeking tips, investigators likely continue standard procedures internally; contact Brookings PD at (605)692-6666 for case-specific inquiries, as no named substantiations appear in releases.
