Alaska State Troopers received a report of a burglary on Monday May 29th at a residence in Kenai off of Woods Drive.
The following items were reported stolen:
· 2002 white Jeep Liberty with Montana plate 568034C
· 4 Dall sheep mounts (one of which had a bullet lodged in the right horn)
· 1 Moose mount
· Caribou antler chandelier with 5 light globes
· 2 burl wood bowls
· Kimber rifle 300 Winchester Short Magnum, bolt action, maple wood stock with Leupold scope
· Various pelts
Troopers later learned that on May 25th, an Alaska Wildlife trooper received a suspicious circumstances report from a horn and antler shop in the area. It was reported that two males tried to sell the shop a Dall sheep mount. Investigation determined that the men, believed to be in their mid-20s, were in the not-yet-reported stolen Jeep Liberty.
The men were described as being approximately 5’6” tall, dark hair and dark skin. One was reportedly approximately 150 pounds; the other was approximately 175 pounds. Both were reported to be of possible Hispanic descent.
There is a possibility that the mounts and other items have attempted to be sold at shops (or online) in areas other than the Kenai Peninsula.
If anyone has any information regarding this incident they are asked to contact AST at 907-262-4453 and reference incident number AK17034953.
