Lincoln Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help identifying suspects in two separate cases: one involving a theft from a local toy store; the other involving an assault at a downtown bar.
The first case occurred around 5:00 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026, at the HobbyTown near 70th and Pioneers Boulevard.
LPD Video Forensics Technician Becky Keller said an employee called to report a man came into the store and took multiple LEGO kits without paying.
Investigators observed on security footage the suspect enter the store wearing a face covering, walk to the LEGO section, grab several LEGO kits, and left the store without speaking with anyone.
Photo and video from the incident are available below.
The second case occurred on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026, at Barry’s Bar and Grill near N. 9th and “Q” street.
Keller said police were called to a local hospital around 2:30 a.m. upon report of a patient who came in with a broken jaw.
The patient told officers he was involved in an argument that night at at Barry’s, which turned into pushing, and eventually escalated into a fight. The suspect had punched the victim in the face multiple times, breaking his jaw, before security was able to separate them.
Investigators were able to obtain one picture of the suspect, who was seen wearing a Drew Brees New Orleans Saints Jersey.
See the suspect’s photo below.
