An American from Oregon decided to give himself a Christmas present by stealing gold objects from a collection at a Washington County museum on the night of Sunday to Monday.
Local police said in a statement Monday that the suspect smashed a window at the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals on Groveland Drive to gain entry and leave with several pieces, mostly gold, on display in the establishment.
The police, alerted around 2:30 a.m., attempted to locate the thief, but the perpetrator managed to flee with the stolen coins, the value of which has not been disclosed for the moment, according to the “New York Post “.
Images captured by surveillance cameras allowed police to paint a sketch of the suspect, described as an adult man of medium build, wearing jeans and a jacket.
