More Lawrenceville businesses dealing with burglaries

PITTSBURGH — Two more Lawrenceville small businesses said they’ve recently dealt with break-ins and thefts.

Kinsman Shop and Merchant Oyster, both on Butler Street, each reported thefts over the last two weeks.

Kinsman founder Courtney Powell said around $1,500 in merchandise was stolen when somebody broke into her store.

Merchant Oyster general manager Mara Letterle said two men with a bolt cutter stole a picnic bench from the front of her restaurant on Monday.

Pittsburgh police said they’re investigating these incidents and at least two others reported last month.
