Police are asking for help to find people accused of stealing from the Academy

Springfield police have released a series of photos taken from a security camera in hopes it will help them solve a burglary investigation.

The man has a mustache and a thin beard along his jaw, according to police. He has sleeve tattoos on both arms, a tattoo on his right calf, and a tattoo in the center of his neck.

The woman in the Academy store surveillance photos has dark red hair, three tattoos on her left arm and a small, thin tattoo on her right forearm.
