A devastating blow struck ASA Now, a Mesa-based non-profit dedicated to supporting foster families, as burglars made off with $30,000 worth of goods from their premises. The incident, which occurred last week, has left the organization reeling and local authorities on the hunt for the culprits.

Reports indicate that the suspects arrived at the ASA Now facility in east Mesa, near the intersection of University Drive and 80th Street, with a U-Haul truck. Utilizing the vehicle, they forcibly entered a storage container, plundering it for several valuable items before making their escape.

Despite the presence of surveillance cameras, the perpetrators managed to evade identification, as the footage failed to capture clear images or license plate details from the U-Haul truck. However, an astute observation by the Mesa Police Department revealed that some of the stolen items had surfaced for sale on the online marketplace app Offer Up.

Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the burglary or the whereabouts of the stolen goods to come forward and assist with the investigation. Meanwhile, ASA Now, known for its advocacy for foster families as well as its charitable endeavors supporting seniors and the homeless, is grappling with the aftermath of this unfortunate incident.

As the community rallies behind ASA Now in solidarity, the search for justice and recovery continues in Mesa.
