Police search for culprit who smashed glass door of Davie restaurant

DAVIE, Fla. ā€“ A bizarre break-in at a Davie restaurant was caught on camera.

In the video captured early Tuesday morning, a man can be seen smashing his way into the business.

The door to the business has been fixed, $600 later.

The owners of Playa Bowls donā€™t know who the man is and believe the act was intentional.

ā€œIt just seems like a deliberate attempt just to cause damage,ā€ said co-owner Alexandra Arguello. ā€œWe can see him pull into the shop. Heā€™s driving what seems to be a Honda CRV, parks a couple of spaces away from us, walks up, checks to see if thereā€™s anybody on the sidewalk.ā€

After he scopes out the area, video shows the man getting to work on the front door, using a tool to shatter the glass.

ā€œHe just put it right here under the crowbar from the inside and the outside you can see thereā€™s a reverberation and it just shatters from there,ā€ Alexandra Arguello said.

After the glass is broken, the man leaves.

The Arguellos believe the act was intentional.

ā€œWe are not the first shop on the block here,ā€ said co-owner Ricardo Arguello. ā€œYou have to drive specially to us to get to us, so it feels really personal.ā€

The owners and the employees donā€™t recognize the man in the video.

Anyone who thinks they know who he is has been asked to call Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS.

ā€œYou can break our door, but you canā€™t break our spirt,ā€ said Alexandra Arguello.
