1:34 PM: Thanks for the tips. Two Fauntleroy businesses were broken into last night, though both tell us the burglars didn’t get away with anything of value – though the damage they left behind is costly.
At Wildwood Market (9214 45th SW), a glass company was there replacing the door when we stopped by – that’s how the burglar(s) broke in; we’re told they tried grabbing a cash box that had only coins.
At Endolyne Joe’s (9261 45th SW), someone broke in by busting a door lock (which they’ve already repaired). They told us the burglar(s) grabbed what turned out to be an empty cash drawer.
We’ve also received a reader report about what appeared to be a break-in attempt in Morgan Junction; a nearby resident says she saw someone with a crowbar trying to break into the back door of New Teriyaki and Wok (6540 California SW) around 4 am; she yelled to them to walk away and she says they did: “It was a person in a blue hoodie and a blue surgical face mask.”
ADDED 3:10 PM: Ian at Locöl (7902 35th SW) says they were hit too, and sent this security-video grab:
“looks like the same guy broke into Locöl last night was the same group that broke into Endolyne and Wildwood,” Ian notes.
P.S. The Southwest Precinct online community meeting to discuss crime/safety concerns is at 6 pm Monday (September 19th); details here.
