They believe the break-in occurred in the overnight hours between Thursday, September 1, and Friday, September 2. According to the police report, somebody broke a window on the building’s western side to gain entrance.
A number of items were stolen, but Lt. Jeff Enevold from the sheriff’s office, said the “big ticket item,” valued around $10,000 was a hydraulic tool that is commonly referred to as the “Jaws of Life.” It is used to open car doors at the scene of an accident.
Chanhassen Fire Marshal Mark Littfin said backup equipment would be transferred from the Main Fire Station downtown to cover for the missing equipment.
According to Enevold, investigators at the fire station noticed two small rocks on the inside of the building near the window and deduced that somebody used the rocks to break one side of the double-pane window. Enevold said the case is under investigation, and there are no suspects at this point.
Authorities were alerted to the break-in by a call to the Sheriff’s Office tip line on the morning of September 2, Enevold said.
