Six burglaries were reported at businesses in downtown San Juan Bautista overnight, according to the sheriff’s office.
The burglaries were reported on Third Street in San Juan, said Capt. Eric Taylor with the sheriff’s office, who could not immediately confirm all the businesses that were victimized in the string of crimes.
Taylor said someone kicked in the front door of the businesses and pried open their cash registers. Investigators responded for the initial report and ended up finding other businesses on the strip burglarized as well, he said.
He said investigators have surveillance from one of the businesses, including video of the person opening a register. Deputies also recovered fingerprints at some of the locations that will be sent to the California Department of Justice, Taylor said.
Two of the businesses included Mission Cafe and Mom & Pop’s Saloon, he confirmed.
Taylor urged that anybody with information should contact authorities. He also said San Juan residents should stay vigilant if they see suspicious people.
