Appleton Search for man who uses hammer to break open gaming machines and steal money

Posted

The Appleton Police Department is asking for help to catch a man who violently stole money from gaming machines at a business on the city's south side.

The surveillance video, posted to the department's Facebook page titled Hammer-time, shows a man smashing the gaming machines as he tries to steal the money.  He eventually breaks them open and makes off with the cash.

Officers aren't saying what business this happened at, but they did say the man wasn't authorized to be there.

Police are say the incident happened on March 5 and they hope to talk with several people who may have seen that man the night this happened.
