A car battery valued at $220 was stolen.
Cell phone pictures taken by staff of the suspect’s vehicle showed a grey Volvo S60, records show.
A week later, four businesses were robbed: Popeyes, 1430 Brooks Rd.; Millbranch Fish, 3639 Millbranch Rd.; Tobacco Plus, 4632 Millbranch Rd.; and Wendy’s at 3990 S. Third St.
According to the affidavit, video evidence showed the same man committing the burglaries on the same night and using a grey Volvo S60.
Nothing was stolen from the Popeyes restaurant, but a large amount of damage to the countertop over the safe and the safe itself was reported, police said.
The estimated cost of repairs is reportedly $10,000.
At Millbranch Fish, the suspect broke in through a front door and tried to take the register but was unsuccessful.
At Tobacco Plus, the back door was kicked in, and the suspect took 15 cartons of cigarettes and $400 in cash, police said.
