10 burglaries hit Glendale restaurants early Saturday morning; no arrests made yet

GLENDALE, Calif. (KABC) -- At least 10 restaurants were burglarized early Saturday morning in Glendale.

Police say the first burglary occurred at around 2 a.m., and the rest occurred within a narrow timeframe after that.

The restaurants burglarized appear to be:

- Sing Woo Kitchen

- Cafe Bravo

- Stone Oven Pizza

- Herand's Kitchen

- Patar Schawarma

- Rockbird

- China Food Express

- Pizza Man

- El Munchies

- Thai Touch Restaurant

Business could be seen with boarded up doors that were shattered by the brazen burglars. Owners who spoke with ABC7 said they did not keep cash in their registers, but the damage done to their restaurants are still a costly hassle.

Surveillance video captured the burglars smashing the front door of Rockbird on Saturday and getting inside. The video shows them stealing from the register and then ransacking the popular chicken restaurant.

"You know, obviously, what happened last time, we've learned a lot from that," said Joshua Company, the co-owner of Rockbird. "No cash is held at the register, but, unfortunately, they broke the glass door. That does cost us a lot of money."

Not far away, on East Colorado, Pizza Man remained open despite the damage to its appearance.

"I'm in this business 34, 35 years. This is the second time it happened," said Garnik Ohanian, Pizza Man's owner.

And the owner of Thai Touch said he and his neighbor both got hit by the vandals.

"I could see from the parking lot that the door was broken and my neighbor business his door was also broken," said Boyet, the restaurant's owner.

Boyet said his register was empty, so the burglars made a mess but left empty-handed.

"it's more of a hassle than anything, but it doesn't mean that these guys shouldn't be stopped," he said.

No suspects are currently in custody or have been identified in connection to Saturday's burglaries, and police say they are unsure how many suspects they are looking for.
