BOSTON (WHDH) - The family owners of a small pizza shop on Beacon Hill are pleading with the burglar who broke in to the store Friday morning to return the cash he stole.

Surveillance footage shows a man breaking into Primo’s Pizza early Friday morning and ransacking the cash register. Lavisha Saini, whose parents own the shop, said he took $1,500.

Saini said the financial loss was another hit as the restaurant tries to bounce back from the pandemic.

“Wherever he is, we just want to let him know that we just want our money back. and during this time, we should be helping each other,” Saini said.
Loyal customers visiting the shop said they were shocked something like this could have happened in a seemingly safe neighborhood.
“It’s just shocking because the area is a great area and you don’t hear about break-ins on Beacon Hill,”  neighbor Steven Rivers said.

The owner of a nearby convenience store told 7NEWS the same man attempted to break into his store as well but was unsuccessful.

Boston police are investigating the incident.
