In the wee hours of Wednesday night a shop on the 1600 block of N. 45th was burglarized and multiple businesses further east along N. 45th St. in Wallingford suffered damage during attempted break-ins. Not a Number (1907.5 N. 45th St.) owner Jon DeLeeuw wrote:
Somebody tried to break into the following businesses (that we know of) on Wed. night, approx. 3 a.m.:
Fainting Goat
Not A Number/Sock Monster
Teahouse Kuan Yin (not sure on this, damage seemed slight)
Joule
Rusty PelicanThe alarm at Joule went off at 3:30AM, and obviously scared them off as they left their crowbar and hammer by Joule’s back door.
They used a brute force method, basically ripping apart the doors/frames. As far as we know they did not get into any of these businesses….The neighbor behind us did not hear anything.
Online police reports list just one business, a restaurant on the 1900 block of N. 45th St. (presumably Joule), as an attempted burglary. The police report for the completed burglary later in the morning didn’t list any details.
