Local police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying potential suspects involved in two separate residential burglaries over the weekend.

The owners of two local Asian restaurants, Thai Zap and Mandarin House recently had their homes burglarized on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Pocatello police say they received the report of a residential burglary at 4:17 p.m. on Friday at a home on Siena Drive in Pocatello.

The burglars broke in through a locked sliding back door, entered the home and stole sentimental jewelry and cash, of which some of the money belonged to one of the residents of the home who was saving for a down payment on a car, according to a GoFundMe online fundraiser created on behalf of the owners of Thai Zap.

The family contacted the Journal Tuesday evening and reported that even their children’s piggy banks were stolen from the home.

The fundraiser was launched to assist the owners of Thai Zap in paying their insurance deductible. As of Tuesday evening, 17 people have contributed $1,345 of the fundraiser’s $5,000 goal.

The Pocatello Police Department has provided a series of screenshots captured from a home security system in the neighborhood that could potentially assist the public in identifying suspects and the vehicle used during the incident.

Additionally, the Idaho State Journal on Tuesday also obtained additional videos and screenshots of the videos from the same homeowner that provided videos to the police.

“As a reminder to the citizens, please secure your residences and take precautions to add to the security of your homes.,” Pocatello police said in a recent news release about the incident. “Remember to lock doors, windows and add a blocking mechanism to sliding glass doors. Please pay attention to strangers in your neighborhoods and report suspicious behaviors to the police.”

Chubbuck police are also investigating a separate burglary that was reported to have occurred at a residence on Memory Lane between 10:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. on Saturday.

It appears the burglars forced entry into the home by shattering a sliding glass door on an upstairs deck, Chubbuck police said.

The burglars upended the house and stole large amounts of cash and valuables, including jewelry, according to Chubbuck police.

A family member of the residents of the Chubbuck home that was burglarized told the Journal Tuesday that he has concerns about a pair of suspicious vehicles in the area that he believes were used to scope out the house and may have been used by the perpetrators.

The investigations regarding both burglary incidents are active and ongoing, police said.

Anyone with any information about the burglary on Siena Drive are encouraged to contact the Pocatello Police Department Investigations Division at 208-234-6121.

If anyone can assist with the burglary on Memory Lane, they asked to contact the Chubbuck Police Department at 208-237-7172.
