Written by Amanda Coers – Unknown suspects made off with more than a Hunger Buster Special after a smash and grab burglary of the local Dairy Queen early Saturday morning.
According to reports, Brownwood Police were dispatched to the restaurant, located in the 1600 block of Austin Avenue at 5:54 a.m on Saturday, December 17th. As employees arrived at the restaurant to begin opening for breakfast, they noted signs of forced entry.
After investigation, it was noted a safe containing deposits for over $2,500 was missing.
Surveillance videos from the restaurant were submitted into evidence. The investigation is ongoing. In the surveillance videos, an individual, presumably male can be seen smashing the glass door near the drive through window. The suspect quickly runs to the back entrance and removes a bolt on the door, then goes into the manager’s office and attempts to open the safe. When unsuccessful, the suspect then picks up the safe and carries it out the back entrance.
