SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN – Police in Cass County and Berrien Counties are looking for the public’s help in finding suspects involved in a pair of convenience store break-ins.

Investigators say photos from video surveillance cameras in both stores show one of the suspects wearing a very specific style jacket that can be seen in each picture.

Mills Grocery on Sunset Blvd. in Union, Mich. was broken into on November 6, while Dale’s Minimart on N. 5^th St. in Niles was burglarized the following day.

Police say each burglary took place after the stores were closed.

Both sheriff’s offices are asking for any information that could lead to the identification of the person in the photos and/or his accomplices.

If you have any information, you can contact the Cass County Sheriff’s office tip line at (800) 462-9328 or Crimestoppers at (800) 342-STOP.
