In fact, it’s so strange, the public wasn’t engaged to solve it.
The rumor going around between officers is that on the night of the BLM protests at the mall when every law enforcement agency in the area responded someone robbed a big box store, and they weren’t looking for Busch Light and table saws. They took all of their guns. ALL OF THEM. Don’t know the value of that stuff, but I would guess north of a million dollars.
The irony is officers say the SFPD classified it as an unsolved crime pissing a lot of people off.
The minor disturbance of latch key kids throwing pebbles at officers in the mall parking lot was a great decoy to pull off one of the largest property crimes committed in Sioux Falls.
Unsolved.
You would have thought they would have reached out to the public to help solve such a great loss?
The last police chief left shortly after this happened.
