Local coffee thief caught on camera

Police are looking for the burglar who broke into Hot Shotz Coffee in Burien this morning.
 
The thief was caught on camera around 3:25 a.m. He wore a mask to conceal part of his face and appeared to be wearing gloves.
 
The manager of the coffee stand discovered the broken glass when she got to work Friday morning.

"So much anger," said Heather, the espresso stand manager who didn't give her last name. "How could somebody do this to us? (There are) women who rely on this job to feed their kids, to continue to house themselves."
 
The video shows the thief go directly to the cash register and the fridge, which makes the owner and manager believe it could be linked to a former employee, or a customer who cased the place.
 
A different coffee stand  in Burien was burglarized on Thursday. Sisters Espresso, about a mile away, had their window broken. It is what the thief stole, besides the cash, that could link these crimes together. In both cases the burglar took Red Bull and muffin tops, a craving that could get him caught.
