FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) – Police said they have taken a person of interest into custody after at least one burglar shattered their way into a Fort Lauderdale business overnight.<\/p>\n
Fort Lauderdale Police units responded to the scene of the break-in at the Dollar Stop along the 3600 block of Davie Boulevard, early Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Investigators said they received a call just after 4 a.m. about a burglary at the business. The subject somehow shattered the glass to gain entrance into the store.<\/p>\n
Detectives said officers set up a perimeter and took a person of interest into custody.<\/p>\n
The store\u2019s owner told 7News that the burglar took the register as well as a few drinks, adding he is still trying to figure out the exact cost of the damage and everything that was taken.<\/p>\n
Moreover, the business owner said, this is the second time that burglars have targeted one of his stores. The previous burglary took place at a location in Sunrise.<\/p>\n
After that initial burglary, the store\u2019s owner said, he began keeping very little cash in the drawer, so the biggest expense will probably be the glass door.<\/p>\n
Police have not provided further details, as they continue to investigate.<\/p>\n
If you have any information on this burglary, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.<\/p>\n
