PITTSBURGH — Hundreds of dollars in merchandise was stolen from a store on Pittsburgh’s North Shore early Wednesday morning after the front door was shattered.
The burglary was reported shortly before 12:30 a.m. at The Pittsburgh Fan on Federal Street.
Surveillance cameras caught a man throwing a rock through the front door, shattering the glass so he could crawl inside.
Wednesday’s burglary was the second for the store since Aug. 14, when a rock was also thrown through the front door and about $2,500 worth of Steelers and Pirates merchandise was stolen.
The store’s manager estimated about 20 shirts worth between $500 and $600 were stolen.
No arrests have been made.
Police are investigating a string of burglaries on the North Side. It's unclear whether Wednesday's burglary is connected.
“Now there’s been a whole rash of burglaries, so we worry about our customers’ safety as well as our instructors,” said Sharon Skittle, who owns Owner Urban Elements and Cycology, located next door to The Pittsburgh Fan.
Skittle said she tells her yoga and cycling customers to practice the buddy system and be on the lookout.
