WILLMAR -- Five First Street businesses were burglarized overnight between Thursday and Friday.
Scrap it, Hair We Are, Midway Wireless/Cellular 2000, Edina Realty, New Image Salon, all of which are located on the 2000 block of First Street, were broken into and several items were stolen at each store. Items stolen included computers, inventory, cash and hair styling supplies from the two salons.
Willmar Police Chief Jim Kulset says it's likely that all five of the burglaries were done by the same person or persons. Though nobody had been caught as of Friday afternoon, he says his department has had good success in tracking down burglars.
