Smash-and-grab burglar hits five area restaurants
KPRC-2 reports on five brazen smash-and-grab burglaries that occurred overnight:
Five southwest Houston restaurants were broken into within a 30-minute span early Monday, officials told KPRC Local 2.
Houston police said a Hispanic man broke into Berryhill Baja Grill, Tokyohana, Buffalo Grille, Chez Beignets and Molina's Cantina on Buffalo Speedway near Bissonnet Street at about 3 a.m.
The burglar broke windows and stole an unknown amount of cash from the restaurants, police said. Investigators said the burglar used either a mallet or a foot to break the glass.
Detectives said the burglar was last seen wearing a light blue shirt.
Police searched for fingerprints and are using surveillance video to try to determine the burglar's identity.
The burglar got away from the scenes on a bicycle, police said.
Unlike the Chronicle, KPRC is apparently not worried about encouraging those who would engage in shirt-color scorekeeping!
