Police are investigating the theft of $150 worth of flowers from the Neighborhood Family Health Center in Ypsilanti.
The flowers were part of a fundraiser someone who works in the medical office was having for their son's Little League baseball team, said Ypsilanti police Sgt. Thomas Eberts. The office is part of the St. Joseph Mercy Hospital system.
The flowers were delivered Monday morning to a conference room in the building, at 111 N. Huron St. in Ypsilanti, from where they were stolen between 10:30 and 11:30 a.m., Eberts said.
“Some of the employees picked their (flowers) up,” Eberts added, but a thief came in and made off with the remaining batch, valued at an estimated $150.
The room is in a part of the building open to the public. Still, no one saw anything suspicious Monday.
“People are in and out of there," Eberts said. "No one witnessed it. There is no surveillance tape."
Employees noticed the missing flowers and contacted police that afternoon. The case remains under investigation. There are no suspects.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Ypsilanti Police Department at 734-483-9510 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (773-2587).
