Moweaqua Golf Course Robbery Suspect Still At Large

The Christian County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a burglary at the Moweaqua Golf Course after deputies were called to the business in the early morning hours of Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025. Authorities say the break-in triggered a burglary alarm that prompted a rapid response, but by the time deputies arrived, they found the business had already sustained significant damage and theft. Glass from a shattered door littered the entrance, and items had been scattered across the property.

 

According to investigators, surveillance cameras recorded the suspect in the act. The footage shows the individual entering the business wearing a brown flannel coat over a red shirt, with black pants cuffed at the ankle, black Nike shoes, a grey-and-black hat, and a black face covering. Deputies reported that the suspect used a sledgehammer and a crowbar to force entry into the building.

 

The suspect is described as a male standing between 5 feet, 8 inches and 5 feet, 11 inches tall and weighing roughly 170 pounds. The stolen property, including merchandise and cash, has been valued at $10,158.85, marking a significant financial loss for the golf course.

 

Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, and they are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect. The Christian County Sheriff’s Office emphasized the importance of community involvement in solving crimes such as this one, noting that even small details provided by residents could make a difference.

 

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Christian County Crimestoppers. The program allows tipsters to remain completely anonymous and offers cash rewards of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest. The CCSO has not released additional details yet but confirmed that deputies continue to review evidence and follow up on leads in hopes of bringing the suspect into custody.
