Suspect arrested in Costco smash and grab

Juneau police have arrested a 31-year-old man for allegedly stealing $41,000 in jewelry from Costco last month.

Officers say Joseph John Finn committed the burglary Sept. 17. After waiting inside the store until it closed and all the employees had gone home, police say Finn smashed the jewelry case and stole watches, rings and necklaces.

JPD recovered jewelry worth about $32,000 when they arrested Finn on Wednesday afternoon. Many pieces are still missing, according to a release.

Finn is charged with several felonies related to the theft, as well as drug charges for unnamed substances found in his possession at the time of his arrest.

Daricka Clark, 29, was arrested with Finn. She faces drug charges as well.

Police say the case likely will result in additional arrests.
