Surveillance Footage Released In Burglary Of Pepe's In Mount Washington
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Police are looking for the two suspects who broke into a popular restaurant in Mount Washington.
They released surveillance video of the two men who broke into Pepe's.
The incident happened Friday, Oct. 4.
Manager Laura Burden said the two thieves broke in through the side door, hungry for money.
"They came in and parked over there and walked up the steps," Burden said. "Came up here, and looked to see if anybody was around. Then they found a rock and smashed it and came in this way."
The owner of the restaurant was asleep upstairs while the burglary was in progress.
The burglars caused significant damage to the cash registers trying to break into them.
"These two you see them obviously looking around," Shawn Vinson, of Baltimore County Police, said. "They definitely took the opportunity they thought they had at that situation, but they didn't plan it out very well."
Burden said the two got away with a couple hundred dollars in cash.
"They took the waffle machine to smash the doors, because when they came in, they tried everything they could to break them open," she said.
They eventually fled south on Falls Road with an entire register in a white Sedan.
"It makes me really, really sad and angry too because it's an invasion and this is their life," Burden said. "We all work very hard."
Police said they are offering a reward to anyone who recognizes the two suspects or has any information about the incident.
