Burglars hit Salvation Army in Spokane

Burglars stole nearly $1,000 in merchandise from the Salvation Army thrift store in Spokane over the weekend.

The intruders apparently entered the store at 2020 N. Division Street when it was open and were able to stay inside after it closed Saturday at 5 p.m., according to the Salvation Army.

Several boxes of merchandise were stolen from large display cases, including jewelry and other expensive items.

The thieves broke the fire exit as they fled, according to a news release.
