Break-in at Metro Vancouver bakery leaves glass door smashed (PHOTOS)
A Metro Vancouver business owner was woken up in the middle of the night after their bakery was broken into, leaving behind a smashed glass door.
Marco Cornale, the owner of Fratelli European Bakery, told Daily Hive that someone broke into their New Westminster location at 2:47 am on Saturday morning.
“There have been a lot of break-ins in the area lately, from what I have heard from businesses,” said Cornale.

“The police attended within 10 minutes, the guy was in and out within minutes,” he said. “He was looking for cash, ransacked a bit but couldn’t find anything and left.”
While Cornale has glass insurance with a $75 deductible, the whole incident is a “pain in the $@&!!” for the business owner, who shared photos of the break-in on social media.
