RPD: Burglary Suspect Severely Injured, Charges Pending

Police say charges are pending against a man who was badly injured during an attempted burglary at Jorshimal Jewelry on Vincent Street in Rochester early Wednesday.

Officers responded to an alarm and found the suspect at a broken rear window, bleeding heavily from his arm and calling for help.

Officers applied a tourniquet before the man was rushed to Strong Memorial Hospital for emergency surgery for life-threatening injuries.

Investigators believe he entered through the roof, smashed display cases, and stuffed about $60,000 worth of jewelry into a canvas bag.

Police say identifying and charging the suspect will happen after his medical treatment.
