Burglar strikes secound time at restaurant 

A burglar wanted in a string of break-ins this month is suspected of striking again. Joe's Family Restaurant was victimized again last week when someone broke the glass in the front door to get in and steal a small amount of cash from the register. It happened between 9 p.m. Thursday and 3:30 a.m. Friday, reports state. Authorities suspect the same person broke into the Main Street restaurant before dawn Nov. 11. The crimes are linked to break-ins Nov. 7 and Nov. 11 at Affordable Muffler on Main Street. The burglar broke a window and took small amounts of cash on all four occasions. Anyone with information should call sheriff's Detective Al Emrick at 726-4488, ext. 266.
