ROCKY HILL, Conn. — Four restaurants and stores in a shopping plaza were burglarized overnight Friday, according to Rocky Hill police.
Officers were called to the Shunpike Village Shopping Center at 825 Cromwell Avenue around 4:40 a.m.
The initial call came in from employees of Elizabeth's Restaurant. When police arrived, officers determined that burglaries also happened at other plaza establishments, including Jamaican Kitchen, Michel Angelo’s Pizzeria and Sweets By Jenna.
Two suspects broke into the businesses through the back doors and took cash from the registers.
"Our back door was smashed and luckily the only thing they really took was money from the register, which was a chunk of money, but nothing else was damaged luckily," said Sweets By Jenna owner Jenna D'Amico.
She's surprised that the money was all they took. She noted that the electronics, iPads, and food inventory went untouched.
"I can’t believe they didn’t take even one cookie. Like, I’m offended they didn’t take a cookie at least,” D'Amico said.
D'Amico said she's a new business owner and this burglary just adds to the challenges she is learning to navigate.
“A little over a year and a half, so we are still new still running through all our problems including a break-in,” D'Amico said.
This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Seguin at the Rocky Hill Police Department at (860) 258-7640, reference case number 23-5670.
