WASHINGTON, Pa. — Surveillance video inside Forty Bar and Grille in Washington County shows a man breaking into the restaurant Saturday evening
The owner said he has to clean up blood and glass after a man busted through this garage door with a hammer. The owner said he was already having difficult time making ends meet due to the pandemic and tonight he wants this suspect caught.
“He obviously didn't see the cameras, broke in stole bottles of beer, liquor, grabbed our bank bag, only had a dollar in it,” said the owner Robert Merashoff.

Merashoff showed us just some of the costly damage caused by one burglar, who tried several different attempts to break into the building.
“He couldn't get in through basement door, he was carrying a hammer with him. He busted one of the glass doors and broke in through that, cutting himself, leaving a bloody palm print on top facing the camera for the world to see,” Merashoff said.
Merashoff said they're struggling here trying to remain open for takeout orders, but not making enough money. And fixing this damage is not something he can afford.
“For someone to be so uncaring and put you behind when you're already behind. It's upsetting truly is. We want this guy off the streets,” Merashoff said.
