An Islamic center in Contra Costa County has been burglarized several times in the last six months.

Members of the center are on edge and hope a public plea for help will lead police to a suspect.

There have been four break-ins at the Walnut Creek Islamic Center since September. Thieves reportedly stole donation money and tools totaling $25,000.

The center has been cooperating with Walnut Creek police on the investigation by sharing surveillance images and videos.

A lieutenant at the Walnut Creek Police Department has been working the investigation for several months and hopes a Facebook post by department will trigger new information that leads to the suspects.

Police said there is no evidence pointing to the break-ins as hate crimes.
