Suspects Drain Vending Machines at Middletown Hotel

Middletown police are looking for two suspects who stole money from vending machines on each floor of the Homewood Suites hotel on West Main Road last month.

The department has just released images from hotel security cameras to solicit the public’s assistance.

Police said the culprits walked into the hotel on Nov. 13 at around 1:35 p.m. and took money from vending machines on each of the three floors with one using the key and putting the loot into a black backpack as the other stood watch in the hallway.

The first suspect is described as a white man with facial hair on his chin, a neck tattoo on his left side, short hair and wearing what looks like a New York Yankees baseball cap.

The second is described as a darker complexioned man with a shaved head and glasses.

The crime netted the suspects $80 in cash, police said, and left in a red sedan.
