Fayetteville Police believe a Monday night burglary at Fayette Sporting Goods on North Glynn Street might be linked to some unusual behavior by three customers earlier in the day.

A store employee told officers that one of three men who had entered the store together on Monday began asking him if the the store had a security system or a safe, according to Maj. Kevin Gooding. During the conversation, the two other men wandered around the store, Gooding said.

At one point during the conversation, the employee asked the man if he was in the security business and told him the manager would be in shortly. It was at that point that the three men left, Gooding said.

The next morning at opening the back door was found unsecured. Some of the store’s merchandise had been moved around and some merchandise, along with an undisclosed amount of cash, may have been stolen, said Gooding.

The incident is under investigation.

Gooding reminded store owners and homeowners to call 911 when suspicious activity occurs.

“We want to help and prevent crimes in businesses and in homes,” said Gooding.
