Des Moines Police are trying to identify a man who cashed in a lottery ticket that was among several rolls of tickets reported stolen.

Shortly before 4 a.m. Monday, a robber broke into a Git N Go store at 2911 Douglas Avenue in Des Moines and left with roughly $900 worth of lottery tickets.

The suspect left the area in a red SUV. A few hours later, one of the tickets taken in the burglary was cashed at another Git N Go store at 42nd and Crocker in Des Moines.

Police have released photos from surveillance video of both the burglary and the man cashing in the stolen ticket.
