Yellow Springs police are asking for the public’s help identifying a potential suspect in a string of break-ins at downtown businesses over the weekend.

Police released surveillance footage from a store at 220 Xenia Ave. that showed a person entering the store after stepping through broken glass in the front door.

The person makes their way to the register before heading toward the front of the store.

“We are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying the individual shown in the videos below regarding a breaking and entering that occurred on June 14, 2025, at 220 Xenia Ave.,” read a post on a Yellow Springs Police Department social media page.

Police said officers are processing individual crime scenes, collecting evidence and canvassing the area for witnesses and surveillance footage following multiple reports of overnight break-ins.

“We understand the concern these incidents may cause and are committed to a thorough investigation,” police said. “We will share updates as soon as new information becomes available.”

Anyone affected by the break-ins or who may have information about them should contact Officer Jeff Beam at 937-767-7206 extension 2 or jbeam@yellowsprings.gov.
