The Alliance Police Department is actively seeking the public's assistance in identifying a male suspect involved in an attempted gun theft at a Dunham’s store in Alliance, Ohio. The incident occurred on September 6, 2026, when security camera footage captured the man entering the back office of the establishment. According to police reports, the suspect stole department keys and proceeded to disable the store's security system by unplugging it, thereby attempting to erase all video recordings. Following this, the individual moved to the gun cabinet area with the intent to steal one or more firearms. However, the suspect was unable to successfully remove any weapons because he jammed a key in the lock. The man remained inside the store for approximately two to three hours before departing. Police confirmed that no merchandise was ultimately taken during the incident. Authorities are urging anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information regarding his identity to come forward. The public is encouraged to contact Patrol Officer Caughey directly at 330-821-9140. Alternatively, individuals may submit anonymous tips through the Alliance Police Department’s official tip form. The investigation is ongoing, and law enforcement continues to review evidence to locate and apprehend the individual responsible for this attempted burglary and theft.
