Burglars Hit Two Arlington Dunkin' Donuts in One Night
The stores were broken into about a half-hour apart.
Apparently, everyone does run on Dunkin'.
The Arlington County Police Department is investigating a pair of burglaries that occurred early Thursday at two area Dunkin' Donuts.
The first was at 3520 Lee Highway, in the Cherrydale-Maywood area, where police say unknown suspects removed the lock mechanism from the front door of Dunkin' between 3:15 and 3:30 a.m. They left after taking cash from a register, police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck told Patch in an email.
