Multiple Gas Stations Burglarized Via Holes Knocked In Walls
November 28, 2011
Multiple gas stations along the Gulf Coast have been burglarized through holes knocked in their exterior walls over the past week — including Raceway locations in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
Escambia County
One of the latest burglaries occurred in Escambia County.
During the early morning hours on Sunday, someone knocked a hole through a wall of the Raceway gas station at 7910 Pine Forest Road. Once inside, the suspect or suspects cut open a safe and took an undisclosed amount of cash.
Anyone with information on that burglary is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP or the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.
Santa Rosa County
A similar burglary occurred late Saturday night or early Sunday morning at the Raceway convenience store at 2783 Avalon Boulevard. A large hole was knocked in the exterior wall of the building, and the thieves cut their way into a safe.
Anyone with information is asked to call Santa Rosa County Crime Stoppers at (850) 437-STOP.
Mobile and Mossy Head
Similar through-the-wall burglaries have occurred at a Raceway in Mossy Head on November 22, and at three separate stores in Mobile within the past week.

Although these were not crimes of violence,
we all ultimately pay a higher price becsuse
of crimes such as these!
sounds like they know where the safes are at–could be an inside job-just a thought
Why all Raceway Stations? Hmmm
Thieves did the same thing at the Cantonment feed store twice on Hwy 29. I think it was last year. And if I remember, they had started a hole in wall of the Laundramat next door.
Have to admit, one of the better plans I’ve heard of.
