BRANDON — Two Park Street restaurants, Li’s Chinese Restaurant and Mae’s Place, were involved in burglaries last Thursday, April 28. Police are investigating a burglary at Li’s and an attempted burglary at Mae’s Place.
The suspect broke into Li’s during the early morning hours and got away with an undetermined amount of cash. The suspect also tried to break into Mae’s Place that same morning, but was unsuccessful. The suspect is described as wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt with the words “Ocean City” on the front, sweat pants, Nike sneakers with a Nike “Swoosh” on the side and a face mask.
The suspect appears to be a white male, police reported, and may have facial hair. He may have also had a backpack on underneath the back of his sweatshirt.
