Police are looking for three people in connection to the burglary of a construction site at Salvation Army on Sixth Street Dec. 29 around 1 a.m.

Two people slipped into the site through a gap between a chain link fence and the Salvation Army building, while a third waited nearby in a vehicle.

They made off with about $10,000-$15,000 in equipment, said Tim Cummings, owner of TJC Contracting.

The entire operation took about six minutes.

“They definitely knew what they were doing,” Cummings said.

He estimates seven to nine nail guns, two large gauge nail guns, a chain saw and a $1,300 Hilti drill, among others were stolen.

The equipment belonged to TJC Contracting and seven of its employees, Cummings said.

Cummings requires his employees to provide their own nail gun and saw, so much of the equipment belonged to individuals, not TJC. Nail guns cost about $240-300, Cummings said.

Despite the loss, work hasn’t slowed down.

“We’re actually really fortunate to have a lot of contractors that we’re friends with to loan me stuff if I need them,” Cummings said.

For TJC employee Jerry Cline, it was the beginning of a rough end to 2014. On New Year’s Eve, someone stole his car.
