Just after 3:30 a.m. on Saturday, March 15 a break in and robbery occurred at The Gulch Bar & Grill.
It was discovered upon opening the next morning, according to the Sheriff's Call Log, which logged the call at 10:49 a.m.
A video posted on Facebook shows the perpetrator headed straight for the office, where multiple bills were stolen from two spaces within the office area.
The perpetrator entered from the east using a pry bar. They were wearing jeans, a hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and mask that concealed their identity, but appeared to be a male.
He was carrying a small nylon backpack with a brand tag still attached. Only cash was taken, and the Gulch was the only business with signs of a forced entry. Notably, the cash was not locked in a safe, and was simply hidden in the office, though the perpetrator seemed to know exactly where to find it.
"Our detectives are pursuing multiple leads, trying to track people down to talk to," said Captain Adam Zishka of the Minnehaha Sheriff's Department.
He pointed out that the posted video is getting attention, which could hopefully lead to some tips. However, since it was an ongoing investigation, he was unable to comment further.
Tracie Jellis, proprietor of The Gulch Bar & Grill, declined to comment to the Gazette on the incident.
