Eureka Police are investigating the theft of an air-conditioning unit from The Shoppes at Hilltop shopping plaza, 405 Meramec Blvd. The used gray Lennox 4-ton air conditioner was valued at about $5,000, police reported.
It was stolen between Nov. 18 and Nov. 22 while it was sitting in a grassy area behind the shopping plaza with two other used units. They had been removed from the building to be replaced with new models, the report said.
As of Dec. 2, the stolen unit had not been recovered, and no suspects had been identified, Lt. Michael Werges said. He asks anyone with information about the theft to call Eureka Police at 636-938-6600.
