A Pittsboro business is turning to the public for help in identifying a person caught on security footage breaking and entering early Friday morning.
Al’s Diner on West Street shared a post on Facebook Saturday detailing the crime, saying someone used a crowbar on the restaurant’s door to break in around 4:30 a.m. on Friday. Photos from an interior Ring camera showed a person wearing a grey or blue hoodie pulled over their head, a mask over their face and olive green pants.
