INFORMATION RELEASE

On March 14, 2015, at about 8:36 in the morning someone entered the Pel Meni Restaurant in the downtown Wharf Building. That person took over two thousand dollars from the restaurant. Video surveillance footage from the hallway outside the business was provided to JPD on March 23, 2015. That video shows the suspect had covered his face.

The Juneau Police Department is hoping that someone who knows the person may be able to identify him or her based on the clothing, backpack, and body shape. The suspect was wearing a blue jacket with a yellow border, khaki pants, and gloves. The person was also wearing an orange and black backpack. Photos from the surveillance video are posted on the JPD Facebook page.
