Security footage from Subway shows the suspect entering the restaurant by cutting through the roof, leaving significant damage to the property.
According to an anonymous Subway employee, the suspect stole $500 during the Sept. 14 burglary. During the second break-in, the suspect reportedly spent about 45 minutes trying to open the store’s safe before leaving through the roof once again.
The crime spree began Friday, Sept. 13, when La Tapatia, located on 9606 Granby St., was burglarized around midnight. The following night, a Subway restaurant on Ocean View Avenue was hit, followed shortly by Lupita’s Mexican and Latin American Restaurant on 1st View Street.
Most recently, on Tuesday night, the same Subway was targeted again, along with a nearby Dollar General store.
