WYOMING, Mich. - A group of thieves caught on tape after breaking into a small business has sparked a cash reward for the person leading to the arrest and conviction of those burglars.

The thieves got away with roughly $5,500 worth of merchandise from the hydroponic & organic garden supply store called the Garden Doctor located on 28th St. The owner, Joseph Parm is offering $1,000 to anyone who brings justice to those thieves.

"I didn't think stuff like this happened in Wyoming…that’s why my store is here, especially out on 28th street," said Parm.

A high definition security camera caught the entire crime on tape recording the burglars coming back four separate times, stealing more than 100 glass smoking devices, digital scales, and vaporizers.

Both Wyoming police and Grand Haven Public Safety have taken over the investigation after a smoke shop in Grand Haven reported being offered to buy the alleged stolen merchandise.

Parm estimates the total loss after repairs to the store add-up to almost $8,000.

"Right now I'm in between insurance companies, so basically it's coming out of my pocket," said Parm.

If you have any information pertaining the the robbery, you can contact the store directly at (616) 249-0193 or call Wyoming Police at (616) 530-7309.
