INFORMATION RELEASE
Date: 2014-09-05
From: Lt. Kris Sell
Case or Incident: #140826-012
On August 26, 2014, at about 8:40 in the evening, a Juneau woman reported her home in the 4700 block of Thane Road had been burglarized during the prior twenty-four hours. The investigation showed someone likely used a tool to pry open the back door of the residence. Multiple jewelry items were taken, totaling about $25,000 in value.
Some of the jewelry items taken were distinctive, there is a tennis bracelet with diamonds around the entire length with ?S? shaped links. There are earrings with an eagle?s head. There is a gold and diamond pendant in the shape of an eye. That necklace also has matching earrings. Also missing is an eagle design silver bracelet made by artist Norman Jackson. The suspect took an anniversary ring with one large stone in the center and smaller stones set in a ?braid? pattern around the ring. A picture of a very similar ring is being released so that citizens can watch for that item.
JPD would like citizens to be aware of anyone they meet who currently has a large amount of jewelry to sell without and adequate explanation. That jewelry could include the pieces noted above and multiple other pieces stolen from the residence.
All factual allegations contained in this release are based upon preliminary investigation and are subject to change or clarification as the investigation continues. Any charges reported in this release are merely accusations and all persons named in this release are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
