Pizza shop burglar escapes with dough

A burglar stole a credit card reader and a small amount of cash from a Spokane Valley pizza shop overnight Tuesday.

The owner of Buck's Pizza, 13221 E. 32nd Ave., told police the thief pried open a back door and an interior door to access the office.

A sounding alarm likely prevented the thieves from gathering "additional booty," Sgt. Dave Reagan said in a news release.

Tracks in snow and pry marks on a door at a neighboring business, R. Salon, indict the thief also tried to break in there, police said.

Police found the card reader and a pry bar inside a stolen truck processed on Tuesday, but no arrests have been made, Regan said.
