Crime Line highlights Mendenhall Valley tool theft

This week, the Juneau Crime Line is highlighting an Aug. 26th theft of high-value tools in the Mendenhall Valley.

“A Juneau man reported tools valued at $4,300 dollars were taken from his shed in the 8400 block of Thunder Mountain Road,” says Lt. Kris Sell of the Juneau Police Department. “Also taken was a one of a kind gray Carhartt coat with ‘F/V Brittany’ embroidered on the back. The suspect was last seen wearing the coat and riding a bicycle.”

Some of the tools were recovered from a field near the victim’s home. A Senco Pro 455XP nail gun, a Stihl Chainsaw, and a Milwaukee right angle drill are still missing.
