A burglar broke into Asian Fusion restaurant on Furrows Road
in Holbrook early Sunday morning – part of a pattern that has been repeated
possibly 13 times in recent weeks.
Security camera footage shows a man using a heavy object to
break into the restaurant around 6 a.m.
Restaurant owner Tony Liu told News 12 that the burglar did
lots of damage inside and took the register which contained cash. Liu says it
is the second time this year his restaurant has been burglarized. The previous
time was in January.
Suffolk police have been investigating the pattern, which
has struck five businesses in Holbrook and other in Smithtown, Lake Grove, East
Setauket, Setauket, Bohemia and Medford.
They are working to see if the crimes are connected and are
increasing patrols.
