An employee told officers the business closed about 9:15 p.m. Sunday and video showed the suspect going up to the door at 9:23 p.m. and throwing a rock through the door to break it, according to the report. The burglar slammed the cash register to the ground and took $50 cash and a board that hung on the wall that contained currency from other places.

The business alarm failed because the door was not opened, according to the report.
