CALGARY – Staff at an Airdrie, Alta. bakery are cleaning up the mess left behind by a smash and grab on Monday morning.
Police believe the break and enter at The Avenue Cakery and Bake Shoppe, located in the 660 block of 1 Avenue N.W., occurred just after midnight.
RCMP said the suspects used a rock to smash through the front glass door so they could get inside.
“We have a lot of cleanup to do,” the bakery said in a Facebook post. “We have no glass in our door and the big rock that was thrown through the front door to break in also smashed through our display case.”
