The owner of a sandwich shop in Bedford, Texas is facing frustration and financial losses after experiencing his third break-in in less than two years. Surveillance video captured a man breaking into the Colossal Sandwich Shop earlier this week, stealing less than $50 in cash and an iPhone. This incident has cost the owner, Jonathan Merrill, $1,000 for a shattered door. This is the third break-in at the shop since February of last year, with previous incidents costing Merrill thousands of dollars in damages. Bedford Police are investigating the break-ins, although they do not believe they are connected.
Despite the setbacks, Merrill is thankful for the support of the community, stating that customers flooded the shop after a photo of the break-in was posted on social media. He urges people to support local businesses, emphasizing the effort and passion that goes into running establishments like his. In response to the break-ins, Merrill is planning to increase security measures at the shop, including installing bars on the windows.
Police are actively searching for one suspect in connection with the recent break-in. Merrill remains resilient and determined to continue operating his business, hoping that the community will continue to show their support.
