Type of Incident: THEFT
Incident location: KIMBERLY, WI
Investigating Agency: Fox Valley Metro PD

Details:

On March 28, 2022 a male subject entered Voeck’s Fox Valley Coin, Stamp, and Diamonds in Kimberly, WI and wanted to buy a roll of gold coins. The suspect displayed a large amount of cash and as the employee was showing him the coins he grabbed the roll and ran out of the business. The suspect jumped into a brown SUV and fled the scene. A security guard who followed the suspect out of the store shot at the vehicle as the suspect attempted to run him over. A short time later the vehicle was spotted in a parking lot and the suspect was taken into custody. The suspect was identified as Travis Burrell from Brooklyn Park, MN.

Based upon the interview with Burrell, investigators believe he may be involved in other coin thefts in Minnesota.
