TROY (WWJ) -- A man is behind bars after allegedly breaking into a Troy restaurant and stealing up to $30,000 worth of alcohol before fleeing the scene with an infant in the car.
According to officials, Troy police arrived at Jonathan Marks restaurant on John R. Road near Maple Road at about 3:33 p.m. on Sunday, June 5, after a man was reported on the roof of the building.
The man was then seen getting into a vehicle and quickly driving away moments later, officials said.
Officials reports that before officers arrived on the scene, they spotted the suspect's vehicle and conducted a traffic stop near 14 Mile Road and I-75.
The driver, a 24-year-old Detroit man, is accused of breaking into the restaurant and stealing $20,000-$30,000 worth of alcohol.
Officers found a crowbar and about 8 “new packaged liquor bottles” in the backseat of the car, said police.
