Employees of the restaurant told deputies that they arrived to work at 5:30 a.m. and found the man already in the business. They said they thought he might be a new employee. Detectives said the employees entered through the back of the building, so they didn’t notice damage to the restaurant’s front door from the break-in.
According to employees, the man stayed with them for 30 minutes before taking keys to the restaurant’s van and driving away in it.
The man also stole food -- which he stuffed in his backpack -- from the restaurant, detectives said.
