Suspect steals empty cash boxes
through drive-through window

A drive-thru window was damaged, but no money taken, during a late night robbery of a Starbucks.

The reporting party, a employee of Starbucks, said nothing was missing when the coffee shop closed at 10:30 p.m. the night before. Nothing else was missing besides the two cash boxes. The store leaves the cash boxes empty when it closes, so no cash was taken.
There are no suspects in the case.
