Police are searching for the three people involved in the theft of what shop owners say was more than $1,000 in donations for a new skate park in Sioux Falls.

The donation jar had been placed at Common Sense, a novelty shop at the corner of 12th Street and Second Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls.

The shop’s Facebook page posted photos from the business’ security cameras on Facebook on Thursday, including photos of two women and a man who came into the store at about 5:30 p.m.

The man, who’s wearing a stocking cap and a black t-shirt, is shown walking out with the jar.

Monty Hagedorn, the store manager, said the response on social media was swift. The post had been shared 164 times by Thursday afternoon.

“The response has just been phenomenal,” he said.

The case is now in the hands of Sioux Falls police, he said.
