The business was closed at the time of the burglary and the cash register was stolen, police said. San Jose Police spokesman Sgt. Christian Camarillo called it a standard burglary — noting that it is not related to the retail thefts occurring around the region recently.
The cafe filed a police report and was able to clean up the storefront in time to open by 10 a.m. — three hours later than it typically opens. There is currently no suspect description as of noontime Wednesday, Camarillo said.
