A Pittsboro business is turning to the public for help in identifying a person caught on security footage breaking and entering early Friday morning.
Al’s Diner on West Street shared a post on Facebook Saturday detailing the crime, saying someone used a crowbar on the restaurant’s door to break in around 4:30 a.m. on Friday. Photos from an interior Ring camera showed a person wearing a grey or blue hoodie pulled over their head, a mask over their face and olive green pants.
The post did not describe whether anything was stolen from the business, but joked the person needed a late-night snack and did not leave any money behind to pay. Additionally, photos shared by Al’s Diner indicated the suspect opened cabinets and supplies were strewn out on its floor.
The social media post requested community members who may recognize the person or their clothes to get in touch with Al’s Diner or the Pittsboro Police Department. The restaurant recommended reaching out through private messages on social media or calling the non-emergency line for Pittsboro Police (919-542-3481), indicating that information leading to the suspect’s identification could be rewarded with food and “unlimited gratitude.”…
