At approximately 12:45 a.m. on the 28th, police responded to Magic Bullet Skateboards, located on Caroline Street, in response to a report of breaking and entering.

The owner of the shop told police he returned to his store and found an unknown man inside the business. When the owner entered his business, he encountered the suspect, who quickly wielded a pocket knife.
