Williamstown Hit by a Rash of Break-insStaff reports - November 05, 2007
WILLIAMSTOWN - Police are investigating break-ins that occurred early Monday morning at several Main Street businesses.
Someone forced open the back doors at the Moonlight Diner, Wild Oats Market and Angelina's Sub Shop and took off with an unspecified amount of cash, although police said the total amount was in excess of $500.
According to police, the thief or thieves also damaged offices and cash registers.
Dawn Hinkell, owner of Angelina's, said the sub shop had been broken into 2005, shortly after she and her family bought it. The Hinkells had installed a metal grate over the back door in an attempt to prevent a repeat break-in.
"Whoever they were, they really had to work to get in here," Hinkell said. Hinkell, of North Adams, was informed of the break-in by city police, who had been contacted by their Williamstown counterparts. "It's not a phone call I want to get at 4 a.m."
Hinkell said the police K-9 unit checked the area and that she expected police to contact later Monday.
She's informed the other businesses in the Colonial Shopping Center about what happened so they can take extra precautions.
Like Hinkell, Wild Oats manager Michael Faber did not want say how much had been taken. Faber did say the back door had broken in and a few other items, along with the cash, had been stolen.
"We're going to evaluate and improve on what we are already do" in terms of security, he said.
Officer Scott Skorupski discovered the Angelina's break-in first, at about 3 a.m., while conducting a regular check of the building, said police.
Police said Dunkin' Donuts on Main Street was broken into on Oct. 27.
Hinkell said one of her customers, a contractor, has offered to fix her back door. "I have wonderful customers."
"I don't know if [the thieves] think what they did isn't hurting anyone, but it is," she said. "We're a family business. We've been hurt."
Anyone with information on the break-ins is asked to contact McGowan at 413-458-5733.
