In the early morning of Saturday, Dec. 17, a masked person entered a home through an unlocked door in Cottonwood. This person was unknown to the family residing there.
At the time, a husband and wife were sleeping in their bedroom with two large dogs and their 12- and 14-year-old daughters were sleeping in another bedroom.
The intruder was armed with a pocket knife and prybar and stole several thousand dollars of currency. He was inside the home for approximately eight minutes before exiting by the front door.
“Nothing else appears to be missing,” CPD Sgt. Chad Sinn stated.
Cottonwood police investigators are asking for help identifying the subject, who was captured on several cameras while inside the residence. Two videos are online at journalaz.com.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective M. Strickland at (928) 295-7264 or mstrickland@cottonwoodaz.gov.
