KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kansas City metro police investigators say at least three businesses were burglarized during the weekend. Most were broken into by alleged criminals seeking cash and other small items, but the damage store managers are left to clean up will be expensive. Joe’s Blog: From 80° to snow in ~24 hours (MON-3/17) In Independence, owners at the historic Muggs Up Root Beer drive-in said somebody broke through the store’s door and helped themselves to about $100 in cash and some odds and ends. Most people were asleep, since that was during the early morning hours on Saturday. However, the store’s cameras were recording, and producing images showed at least two young people inside the store. Muggs Up has been open since 1956. Mike Pemberton said his family has owned the popular mom-and-pop spot since 1978. He said he expects repairs to a door and windows to cost about $1,000. “Some of our employees are a little nervous, those who work in the evenings. They’re afraid the boogeyman is going to jump out from behind the dumpster,” Pemberton said. In Kansas City’s Northland, cameras were recording around 1:30 a.m. Monday, when someone allegedly broke through the front door at the Duck Donuts location on NE Antioch Road. Video from the store’s security cameras show a man using a brick to break down the glass front door, before hopping the store’s counter and ripping out the computerized cash drawer. “It took maybe 20 seconds,” Randi Roodman, who owns that Duck Donuts location, said on Monday. Roodman said the alleged crook took less than $150 in cash, but because he damaged the cash drawer, her store can’t handle cash transactions until repairs are made. She estimates about $1,000 in glass repairs. “I'm just thankful knowing the store was busted open from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. Nobody entered the open door during those hours. The place could have been ransacked, stolen, broken. Who knows what could have happened?” Roodman said. ‘We didn’t get justice’: Family reacts to no charges in IPD shooting deaths “I hate to see it. I don't know if they can catch who did it, but I hope they do and give them a good spanking,” Liane Lance, one of Duck Donuts’ customers, said. In nearby Prairie Village, Kansas, a police spokesperson said somebody broke a window and made their way inside a Hen House grocery store sometime after midnight on Monday. Police investigators are still working to determine what was taken. If you have tips on any of these weekend incidents, please call the Tips Hotline at (816) 474-TIPS. ...read more read less
