Unconventional Burglary at Bowling Alley
Murfreesboro detectives are investigating a peculiar burglary that took place at Lanes Trains and Automobiles, known as “The LTA.” On Sunday, November 10, a burglar executed a daring plan by cutting a large hole in the bowling alley’s roof and rappelling down with a rope, reminiscent of an action movie stunt. This unconventional entry method, described as a “do-it-yourself sunroof,” allowed the intruder to bypass standard security measures.
Once inside, the burglar appeared well-prepared, employing heavy-duty tools such as a hammer and possibly a prying instrument. Initial attempts to open a cash register proved fruitless, as it contained no cash. However, undeterred, the suspect shifted focus to an ATM and a game card machine, ultimately making off with about $1,500. His antics have earned him nicknames like the “building scaling burglar” or BSB, due to his impressive climbing skills.
Surveillance footage captured the suspect, who was described as tall and lean, standing roughly 6 feet and weighing around 170 pounds. His appearance included a camouflage balaclava that, ironically, seemed more suited for cold weather than stealthy break-ins. While his identity remains obscured, witnesses noted that his choice of attire was unusual for such activities in Murfreesboro.
Detectives from the Murfreesboro Police Department are soliciting assistance from the community. They encourage anyone with information about the incident or the suspect’s identity to reach out. Detective Aaron Gonzalez can be contacted at 629-201-5638 for any leads. The investigation is ongoing as authorities seek to prevent further incidents of this nature.
In the meantime, residents are left puzzled and entertained by this unusual blend of criminality and extreme sports, showcasing the creativity of those attempting unlawful entry. As always, suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
