Just after 1 a.m. on Tuesday, two individuals in hoodies broke into Capra’s Kitchen, located at 1834 Lakeshore Rd. W., taking the restaurant’s safe in its entirety.
Capra’s kitchen, along with many local supporters, reposted the surveillance cameras from inside the office, as well as the parking lot. The alleged robbers were seen wearing hoodies, one of whom had “Rockstar” branding on the front and back. The first individual was wearing Air Jordan 1 sneakers, while the other wore some form of Nike running shoe.
The duo appeared to have taken off in an early 2000s Honda CR-V. The licence plate was not caught by the restaurant’s security cameras.
