Men Smash Burger King Drive-Thru Window, Steal Cash

Police are searching for two men who smashed the drive-thru window of a Burger King in Watertown and stole cash from four registers early Saturday morning.

Surveillance footage shows two men approaching the window around 4 a.m. Saturday. Police said one used a 5-pound hammer to break the glass, and the men crawled inside.

They pried open the drawers of four cash registers and stole an undisclosed amount of money. According to police, one of the robbers made off with an entire register drawer.

Authorities said they left behind physical evidence that is being processed for DNA analysis.

The robbers are seen exiting the store at about 4:10 a.m. Police said they ran through the rear parking lot.

One of the culprits was wearing a sweatshirt with a grayish hood and sleeves and a dark-colored body. Police said he was also clad in light pants, dark sneakers and gloves and wore a bandanna over his face.

At one point, the bandanna fell off. Investigators have sent the footage of his exposed face to the Connecticut State Police crime lab.

The second suspect was wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, gray sweatpants, dark sneakers, dark gloves and a face mask. Both are of average build and height, according to police.

Anyone with information is asked to call Watertown police at 860-945-5200 or Crimestoppers at 860-945-9940.
