BOSTON (WHDH) - The owner of a pizza shop in Boston’s South End is looking for answers after someone smashed the store’s glass door and stole a cash register early Monday morning.
A surveillance camera caught the brick-wielding suspect breaking into Union Park Pizza on Washington Street around 3:40 a.m., according to owner Joe Sylva.
Sylva added that the suspect only got away with some change because they do not keep much cash in the register.
“They took the cash drawer,” he told 7NEWS. “It just had very minimal change in it.”
The thief took the register out of the shop but left behind the brick used in the break-in.
Sylva says he has increased security measures and has reported the incident to the Boston Police Department.
“We’re going to keep the lights on every night,” he said. “I’m also going to talk to the alarm company.”
Bostonian Glass Company, Inc. fixed the door and the shop has since reopened.
The incident remains under investigation.
