Dearborn, Michigan – Police are asking for the public’s help after a reported larceny inside the Henry Ford Museum.
According to the Dearborn Police Department, the incident occurred Jan. 19 when a visitor allegedly left her personal wagon unattended near the Martin Luther King Jr. exhibit, close to an elevator inside the museum. When the visitor returned, the wagon was missing.
Police said the victim later discovered her personal belongings had been removed from the wagon and discarded on a different floor of the museum. Investigators allege the suspect exited the building with the empty wagon shortly afterward.
Surveillance images released by police show a female suspect walking through the museum while carrying a phone and pushing a blue wagon believed to be the stolen item. The department emphasized that the woman pictured is allegedly involved and has not been charged.
Detectives are asking anyone who recognizes the individual or has information related to the case to contact the Dearborn Police Department. Tips can be directed to Sgt. Thompson at 313-943-4472. Authorities say anonymous tips are accepted.
The Henry Ford Museum, a major destination for families, students, and tourists, attracts thousands of visitors each week. Police noted that even non-violent property crimes inside public venues can disrupt visitor safety and operations.
Officials are urging museum guests and the public to remain aware of their surroundings and secure personal belongings while visiting crowded attractions.
