REXBURG — Police are asking the public for help in finding a man who broke a window with a chair at a laundromat last week.
It happened Tuesday around 1 p.m. at a laundromat on the 400 block of West 4th South in Rexburg.
The Rexburg Police Department released surveillance video from the business that shows a man typing on his phone (watch in the player above). He then opens a washing machine door, puts his clothes in a tote, picks up a chair and throws it at the window. When it doesn’t immediately break, he picks up the chair again and smashes the glass.
The man leaves the laundromat, walks out to his car and drives away. The vehicle appears to have Colorado license plates.
Police are investigating the incident as malicious injury to property. Anyone with information is asked to contact the department at (208) 372-5001 or send a message on the Rexburg Police Department Facebook page.
