Police said they have taken a person of interest into custody after at least one burglar shattered their way into a Fort Lauderdale business overnight.
Fort Lauderdale Police units responded to the scene of the break-in at the Dollar Stop along the 3600 block of Davie Boulevard, early Monday morning.
Investigators said they received a call just after 4 a.m. about a burglary at the business. The subject somehow shattered the glass to gain entrance into the store.
Detectives said officers set up a perimeter and took a person of interest into custody.
The store’s owner told 7News that the burglar took the register as well as a few drinks, adding he is still trying to figure out the exact cost of the damage and everything that was taken.
Moreover, the business owner said, this is the second time that burglars have targeted one of his stores. The previous burglary took place at a location in Sunrise.
After that initial burglary, the store’s owner said, he began keeping very little cash in the drawer, so the biggest expense will probably be the glass door.
Police have not provided further details, as they continue to investigate.
If you have any information on this burglary, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
