Chesterton Police are investigating the burglary of the Dunes Coin Op Laundromat at 600 Broadway.

According to police, sometime between 9 p.m. Tuesday and 7:30 a.m. Wednesday someone entered the business and stole $201 in cash from the money drawer, which is typically placed in a box at the close of business every night.

Also stolen: a blanket valued at $5.

Investigators were unable to find any signs of forced entry, while the manager advised police that, on arriving at the Coin Op for the day, she found the door unlocked. She then realized that something was amiss on seeing “small boxes of fabric softener” strewn across the floor.

“The crime scene appeared to be purposely made messy with the fabric softener boxes,” police said. “Also, nothing else had been disturbed. It appeared that whoever burglarized the business knew exactly where the money was kept.”
