Troopers seek clues in Bristol burglary
BRISTOL — Vermont State Police are investigating a burglary that occurred at the Bristol Country Store on Wednesday evening, Jan. 8.
The store is located at 3191 Route 116 South in Bristol, about 4 miles south of the village.
A preliminary assessment suggests that someone broke a side window to gain entry to the store, State Trooper Josh Gurwicz told the Independent. The assailant stole beer, a few cartons of cigarettes and some cash register change — but no cash.
Video footage from the store’s surveillance camera shows the incident occurred at about 9:30 p.m., Gurwicz said.
Police are reviewing that footage for clues and have released a video still of someone they believe is the burglar.
The subject was wearing a dark colored sweatshirt with a hood, dark colored gloves and dark colored pants and shoes, according to a press release issued by the state police Thursday morning.
Anyone with information regarding this burglary is asked to contact the Vermont State Police, New Haven Barracks, at 802-388-4919.
