ST. LOUIS — A man has been arrested in connection to a robbery at Habitat For Humanity Saint Louis’ ReStore

Officers arrested 40-year-old Kevin Straub of the 3400 block of Klocke over the weekend. The Circuit Attorney’s Office issued one count of second-degree burglary, one count of stealing and one count of property damage.

Straub is accused of breaking into the store on Dec. 6 and stealing about $100.

A spokesperson for Habitat for Humanity said that at 7:28 p.m. the suspect broke down two sets of glass doors to get inside the building on 3830 South Grand Boulevard. 

Habitat for Humanity captured the break-in on its surveillance cameras.

The Habitat for Humanity website says Habitat Restores are “independently owned reuse stores operated by local Habitat for Humanity organizations that accept donations and sell home improvement items to the public at a fraction of the retail price.”
