Around 3:30AM on February 1, 2025, District 2 Officers responded to the 3100 block of South Grand at La Crazy Margarita for a burglary that just occurred. When they arrived, they were met by the owner of the business and two employees who were sleeping inside the business when the break-in occurred.
A preliminary investigation revealed that around 3AM, an unknown male suspect pried his way into the restaurant with a pry bar and kicked open the door to the downstairs office where the two employees were sleeping. The unknown suspect pulled out a gun, pointed it the employees and demanded money. When the two employees did comply, the unknown suspect grabbed a small safe and took off.
The two employees did not report any injuries during this incident.
