ALLENDALE TWP., MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Oct. 9, 2023) – For the second time in five days, a party store in Allendale was the victim of a smash-and-grab burglary.
According to Ottawa County Sheriff’s Sergeant Jon Smoes, deputies were dispatched to the Market Express convenience store off of Lake Michigan Drive and 48th Avenue around 2:20 AM on Monday on a report of a breaking and entering. Once they arrived, they found that the perpetrators had used large rocks to smash out windows in order to get into the building. They took several unnamed items before fleeing.
Smoes did not go into detail as to any other circumstances surrounding the incident, nor did he say if this crime was related in any way to a similar burglary on Thursday morning, when the GVL West store off of Lake Michigan Drive and 68th Avenue was broken into. No suspects in either crime have been arrested thus far.
Anyone with any information on either of these incidents is asked to contact the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department or Ottawa County Silent Observer (877-887-4536).
