A local business owner needs your help. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, he says several Black Eagle shops were robbed.

Rod Briese of Air Tech Heating and Cooling hopes someone can recognize the person in his surveillance footage.

On the night of December 15th, he says a man in a Toyota pick-up truck parked right in front of his business and stole tools and a welder from his neighbor.

In the days before this incident, Briese claims his flatbed trailer was stolen and stereos from the car repair shop next door were also taken.

He has filed a report with the sheriff's office, but hopes someone watching might be able to help the investigation. “It's a big expense. I can't sleep at night wondering what they're going to do next. Hopefully someone will know this person, will know this truck; I know it's a maroon Toyota Tundra four-door, newer model. Hopefully they catch this guy, Black Eagle's getting ripped off left and right,” says Briese.

He has added more security to his property since the incident.

If you have any information, call the Cascade County Sheriff's Office at 454-6820.
