WORCESTER COUNTY, MA – A brazen burglar turned walls into doorways over the weekend, hitting three businesses in West Meadow Plaza, Westborough, Massachusetts, in one coordinated spree. Surveillance footage reveals how the suspect slipped through back doors and drywall, making off with cash from multiple locations—leaving stunned business owners and police searching for answers.

The Heist: One Plaza, Three Targets

The burglary began at approximately 9:57 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12. The masked intruder first entered the Sun Catcher Tanning Spa through the back door, heading straight for the cash drawer. He carried it into a side room, emptied it, and moved on.

Next, the suspect accessed Spices Punjabi Dhaba, a nearby restaurant. There, he cleaned out cash from the front counter. But he wasn’t done. The intruder entered the men’s restroom inside the restaurant, where he broke through the drywall into the adjoining business: JP’s Pub and Restaurant.

Once inside JP’s Pub, the burglar located a cash box in the office. Although the pub operates strictly on cash and checks, the thief was selective—taking only the cash and leaving checks and coins behind.
