VIDEO: Surveillance video shows two thieves breaking into local Japanese restaurant
According to the restaurant’s owner, two men in masks broke into the business Friday morning, smashing windows and breaking the door.
Chef Naoki Yoshida and his wife pastry chef Renee Yoshida opened Shun Japanese Kitchen four years ago. It was their first business together and they say food is their passion. Naoki built most of the woodwork inside the restaurant. Renee is a designer and she created the interior of the restaurant, making sure to include important elements of Japanese culture including nods to the fishing industry, Japanese sake barrels, patterns, and more.Surveillance video shows two thieves breaking into local Japanese restaurant
The two then went straight to the cashier and hostess stand. The same method of operation the Yoshida’s saw back in October 2021 when their business was broken into the first time. In that case, from 2021, thieves got away with iPads, liquor, and money.“They definitely seemed like they’ve been here before because they knew exactly where to go,” Naoki added.Assessing the damage, the couple saw the intruders had exited the restaurant, breaking the wooden side fence that Naoki built.
