Hospitality Industry Crime Risks: Florida Restaurant Thieves Steal Safe Containing $35,000 In Cash; Break In Through Wall In Business Next Door

“The burglars got into the restaurant by breaking into a neighboring business and entering through a wall. Once inside the restaurant, they took the safe and the surveillance system…”

Thieves broke into a restaurant on Flagler Street overnight, stealing a safe that contained $35,000 in cash.
According to NBC 6, thieves broke into El Caribe Cafe at 7173 W Flagler Street sometime between midnight and 4 a.m. Monday morning.
