Police seek man who fell into store through ceiling then climbed back out empty-handed

Police in Springfield, Massachusetts, hope the public can help identify a man who literally dropped into the Main Stop Food Mart premises.



The possible would-be burglary happened late on Sunday night and the store’s surveillance camera caught the man’s precipitous entry, through the ceiling and onto the tile floor.

The unidentified, after-hours customer apparently found a way in through the roof, according to the Springfield police report. After falling through the ceiling and landing inside the store, the man can be seen in the video immediately trying to climb back up to the hole he fell through.

Aside from the clean-up and necessary repairs to the building, the store owner found nothing missing. Police said the man looks to be in his late 30s. He was wearing a black baseball hat, dark blue short-sleeve shirt, blue jeans and light brown leather work boots.
