LAKE HAVASU CITY - Police in this western Arizona city are looking for a real-life Hamburglar.
A man broke into a McDonald's fast-food restaurant early Sunday morning through a roof vent, according to a Lake Havasu City police report.
Surveillance video shows the man wandering around the kitchen and storage area before firing up the grill. The man cooked and ate two hamburgers before fleeing through the back door, the report shows.
Nothing was stolen but the food in the man's belly, the report shows.
When he fled the McDonald's around 2:15 a.m., he triggered a door alarm that morning shift manager Heather Person heard when she pulled into work nearly two hours later.
She found a piece of drywall on the kitchen floor, and another employee noticed that the grill was greasy. Store manager Macrina Espinoza called police after watching surveillance video from the night before.
When police arrived, they found an exhaust fan had been pried open and tipped over, exposing a 30-inch hole leading into the kitchen. Estimated damage was $150, according to the police report.
Police found several latent prints on the roof vents and sent them to a regional crime lab for analysis.
