SANDUSKY – Police responded to the former AMC theater in Perkins Township on Tuesday after the owner reported that he heard someone inside.

According to a report from the Perkins Township Police Department, the owner claimed that he is performing renovations on the property. He said that when he heard somebody upstairs, he noticed an exterior door had been damaged.

Police searched the building and did not locate anyone. The report states that it is believed that homeless people are living inside.

The theater, which is located behind Walmart, was placed up for sale in early 2022 for $1.25 million. It has since been taken off the market. Records from the Erie County Auditor’s Office show that the property is still owned by Gilbert Sunset Investors, LLC, who have owned it since January 2021.
