Police Investigate Business Burglaries in Bloomfield Township

Bloomfield Township

Officers with the Bloomfield Township Police Department are investigating multiple business burglaries that occurred over the past week.

The first incident occurred on April 11 when officers responded to a burglar alarm at Uncle Ed's Oil Shoppe at about 6:40 a.m. and found a broken window, police reports said. A K-9 from the Troy Police Department assisted at the scene and did not locate any suspects in the building. However, they followed a track north from the building to a nearby parking lot, where police said they believe the perpetrator left in a vehicle.

An employee also responded to the scene and determined nothing was missing, reports said. Detectives are working with authorities in Waterford, where three similar break-ins reportedly occurred with an hour prior to the local incident, reports said. No suspect information was available.

Officers responded to the Medi-Mart at 1539 Opdyke for a reported burglary on April 15, reports said. Store employees said that it appeared someone forced open the rear door overnight and stole roughly $18,000 worth of prescription narcotics from the pharmacy. No suspect information was available.

Officers also responded to a burglar alarm at Torrey Golf Maintenance, located at 715 Fairfax, on April 14 at about 11:30 p.m., reports said. They found a hole cut into the chain-link fence surrounding the building, and a shattered window. No suspects were inside the business. Stolen were two computers valued at roughly $2,000
