CULLMAN, Ala. – A Christmas morning burglary of the Wal-Mart store at 626 Olive St. SW in Cullman resulted in the loss of “tens of thousands” of dollars’ worth of merchandise according to the Cullman Police Department.

CPD Sgt. Adam Clark said the burglary happened at 1:30 a.m. Christmas morning.

“They were in there for approximately two hours,” he said. “They stole thousands of dollars’ worth of property, in the tens of thousands.”

The store is normally open 24 hours per day, seven days per week, but it was closed for Christmas during the time of the crime. There were no security guards or alarms, said Clark, but there is surveillance video. He said the perpetrators were fully masked.

Clark said Wal-Mart is still assessing damage and losses.
