On Monday, March 18, 2024 at approximately 2:46 a.m., Calhoun County Sheriff's Office Deputies responded to an alarm activation at the Kelly's Express Mart on C Drive North in Sheridan Township. Deputies arrived on scene within about two minutes of the dispatched call and confirmed a burglary. Three suspects used a crow bar to force the door open, entered the business, and filled a large trash bag with numerous items of merchandise from behind the counter, mainly alcohol and tobacco products.
The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office K9 unit responded and attempted a track but was terminated after learning that the suspects left in a vehicle. Four total suspects were involved, one being a "getaway driver" who remained in the vehicle. The vehicle is believed to be a newer model Blue to Purple Hyundai Santa Fe or Tucson. One suspect wore a Gray hooded sweater and the two others wore Blue hooded sweaters and had their faces concealed and wore gloves. The scene was processed for evidence and the case remains under investigation by the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office. CCSO was assisted by the Albion Department of Public Safety, Michigan State Police, and the Marshall Police Department.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office at 269-781-0880 or Silent Observer at 269-964-3888.
