Surveillance Video Captures Break-In At San Jose Bakery
SAN JOSE (CBS SF) -- The owners of a popular South Bay bakery posted surveillance video Thursday showing a burglar breaking into their business in order to steal a cash register.
The robbery happened early Thursday morning at Ani's Cake Delights and Flower Flour in San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood at about 2 a.m.
Video shows the thief wearing what appeared to be a mask and a hooded winter coat smashing through the glass front door and heading straight for the cash register. In the clip, the suspect proceeds to grab the register and pull it free of its cables before exiting through the same smashed door.
The owners said in the Facebook post that they were alerted to the break-in by their security monitoring company.
"What do you want from a small bakery! Why? Why?" the post read.
The husband and wife who run Flower Flour said they lost about $2,000 from recent holiday sales. This was the second time they have been robbed since May.
The security camera and warning sign have been no deterrent.
"We really love this neighborhood.you know? With the cost of the rent, it's very hard for us to keep up when incidents like this happen. It makes it even harder for us," said bakery co-owner Ilsin Eisaikhani.
The owner says he'd like to see more police patrols in the area.
In the meantime, he will think twice about putting in another glass entrance.
Police are investigating the incident. No information on the suspect has been released by authorities.
