Pizza King Target Of Burglars

Posted

An overnight break-in to a Warsaw restaurant resulted in the loss of about $1,000.

Warsaw police were called to Pizza King on East Winona Avenue, Warsaw, about 10 a.m. Sunday after an employee came in to open the restaurant and found an open door.

The employee said he stepped through the door and saw the office was ransacked, so he left the building and called police, according to a WPD report.

Upon investigation, it was learned that a safe door was opened and $380 cash, as well as $672.75 in rolled quarters from the game machines, were missing. It is believed the electronically controlled safe would have to have been left unsecured or opened with the proper combination for access to be gained.

No sign of forced entry to the building was found.
