Police in Pas de la Casa are investigating a burglary at a restaurant on Carrer Comtes de Foix, where hooded intruders used an internal key to enter around 3am on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning and took roughly €300 from the cash register.
Security footage showed two suspects, covered head to toe, accessing the premises without forcing entry. They targeted a wall-mounted safe containing about €60,000 in takings from the restaurant and a linked shop over several days, but failed to remove it. Officers noted the key's use as a key clue in how the suspects obtained access.
A separate incident occurred earlier at the same location—or a similar establishment—when security alerted police at 2am on Monday. Responders attended promptly, confirming the theft of several hundred euros from the till. No further details on suspects or methods have emerged from that event.
Property crime specialists have interviewed staff from the restaurant and shop, examined the clear video evidence despite the disguises, and reviewed other recordings. They classify the main break-in as a forced theft with a "cinematic" flair due to its boldness, though the haul remained small. Inquiries proceed quietly to limit public concern, with video expected to help identification.
