Search for suspected burglars after string of break-ins
They all had face masks on, making it difficult to identify them, but in security videos of the suspects, you can see some of their eyes. Detroit police say they attempted to break into a recreation center near the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood on September 8.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Burglary crews might typically run in twos or threes, but how about eight? Detroit police say they hit a store for $90,000 worth of merchandise and then targeted a community center.

They all had face masks on, making it difficult to identify them, but in security videos of the suspects, you can see some of their eyes. Detroit police say they attempted to break into a recreation center near the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhood on Sept. 8.
They broke several windows but did not manage to get inside.
What they're saying:
On Tuesday, Detroit police linked these eight suspects to a burglary at J-Bees, a clothing store on the east side. They gained entry by breaking windows.
"My guess is $80-90,000 worth of merchandise is gone. Jackets, all the other stuff—you can see that all the Jordan Craig jackets, all the Ksubi, RTA, and Cult of Individuality—the whole rack is empty, the tables are empty," said store manager Dee.
It was the second time the store was hit within the month.
