8 Businesses Hit in Rash of Overnight Burglaries

A burglar broke into eight businesses early Sunday and made off with an unknown amount of cash, according to the Beverly Hills Police Department.

Six of the storefronts are in a strip mall near the 9100 block of Olympic Boulevard, while two shops are near the 8600 block of Wilshire Boulevard, said Officer Brian Balleweg. The break-ins occurred sometime between 3-6 a.m., he said.

Among the businesses targeted by the burglar were a bakery, a shoe repair, a nail salon and a flower shop, Balleweg said.

Surveillance footage indicated one burglar, he said.

Cash was stolen from some of the establishments, said Sgt. Max Subin. He could not confirm whether items were taken from all storefronts because all of the owners have yet to be contacted.
