A burglar stole almost $500 in cash from Erbert & Gerbert’s Subs & Clubs on Thursday, Minneapolis police said. The money, including $80 in quarters, was taken from a locked safe.
Manager Blake Hanson said the sub shop was locked up shortly after closing at 2 a.m. No evidence of a break-in was found; the building remained locked until about 9 a.m. when employees discovered the missing cash.
Eight employees have keys to the door and the safe, Hanson said.
But Hanson didn’t think the burglar was an employee.
“The door can be locked from the inside and we don’t have an alarm system,” Hanson said.
