Burglary at Willow Springs home

There are currently no suspects in a burglary that took place on N. Springfield Rd. on May 19, confirm police. Officer David Hocking of the Willow Springs Police Department was dispatched to the residence the morning after a male subject forced open the back door of the home, busted open a safe, and stole an uncertain amount of cash and coins. 

Police have game camera footage of a male suspect entering the residence at approximately 9:18 p.m. and carrying out a large leather bag at 10:10 p.m. He is described as having dark hair and a goatee and was dressed in dark jeans with a white band around the leg and a light-colored hoodie. 

The thief took vintage coins and money in the form of half dollars, dimes, quarters, and a 50-state quarter set, reads the police report. 

The homeowners were not in the house at the time of burglary, and the theft was discovered by their daughter as she was checking on the house.
