A thief left a note after breaking into a San Fernando business apologizing, saying that he needed money for drugs, and that he wouldn't be back.
Police in San Fernando have increased patrols downtown after at least 10 businesses were broken into over the last several nights. Police suspect the same person may be responsible for all the crimes. But, it's what he did at one business that left owners dumbfounded — an apology note, along with a vow not to come back.It happened the nights of July 30 and July 31. In total, 10 businesses were targeted.
He also left the cash register trashed, with coins everywhere, because he took all the cash.Later that same night, police say they believe the same man broke into another business. This time, security camera footage captured him writing a note on a pad. When the owners found it the next morning, they found it read, "Sorry! Need money for drugs. Won't come back.""It was scary for sure," one of the owners said.
