Burglary at Eileen’s Bakery

An Eileen's Bakery & Cafe employee reported that she found the door ajar when she arrived at work at  about 4:45 a.m. Tuesday, Natatia Bledsoe, City of Fredericksburg Police spokesperson, said.

The staff member assumed another employee was already inside, so she attempted to open the door.  The burglar alarm sounded, so she backed away from the entrance.

Moments later, a male subject exited from the business and walked away toward Sophia Street.  Police arrived and documented damage to the door and collected evidence from inside the business, Bledsoe said.

Officers searched the premises and surrounding area, but the suspect was
not located, Bledsoe said.

The suspect was described as a white male in his 40s, approximately 5’7” and 160 pounds, wearing blue pants, a gray pullover hoodie and a black jacket. He was also unshaven.

The investigation is ongoing.  Anyone with information is asked to call the City of Fredericksburg Police nonemergency number 540-373-3122. Information may also be provided anonymously to the Police Department at this web link.
