Police are investigating a robbery where suspects drove a car
into the front of Birmingham Coin and broke open a display
case, making off with an undisclosed amount of coins.
At 1:25 a.m. today, a Birmingham Police Officer saw a car
that seemed to have run into the front of the business
located at 33802 Woodward. The car, a 1993 Honda Accord,
was reported stolen out of Detroit.
Police say the suspects then entered the store and broke
open a display case that contained numerous types of
coins. It is unclear how much and exactly what was taken.
After the robbery, police said the suspects left the area
in unidentified vehicle that was parked behind the store.
The suspects left behind a sledge hammer, two-way radio,
bed sheet and a hammer.
Anyone with information regarding the robbery is being
asked to call the Birmingham Police Department at
248-530-1870.
