Bad Bakers<\/p>\n

West Sacramento police have arrested the alleged vandal<\/a> who damaged a local doughnut shop, the department announced in a Facebook post on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Officers received reports of a possible burglary at the Bad Bakers doughnut shop in the 2000 block of Town Center Plaza on Friday morning. When officers arrived, they found the store\u2019s front window shattered. Surveillance footage recorded Thursday night shortly after the shop closed about 8 p.m. appeared to show a single suspect throwing a rock through the window and fleeing on a bicycle. No merchandise was stolen, police said.<\/p>\n

Half of the Bad Bakers storefront was boarded up on Friday morning \u2014 National Donut Day, celebrated on the first Friday of June.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast week\u2019s vandalism at Bad Bakers was upsetting for many in our community,\u201d the department wrote in a Sunday evening Facebook post. \u201cWe are pleased to share that, with the assistance of community members, West Sacramento Police have identified, located, and arrested the suspect responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the incident, police circulated a photo of the suspect, who appeared to be wearing a blue shirt, khaki pants, a backpack and a bicycle helmet, in an effort to identify the person involved. The suspect\u2019s identity had not been released as of Monday.<\/p>\n

Bad Bakers, a local family-owned chain, celebrated the grand opening of its West Sacramento outlet<\/a> on April 26, just over a month before the vandalism.<\/p>\n
