MODESTO – A man broke in to the Queen Bean Coffee House overnight, causing damage to the building and stealing the register.
A heartbreaking message was posted on the business’ social media pages, reporting the incident.
“We were robbed last night! This is devastating news. They ransacked the back of house and stole our register and Clover POS system. We have called the police and will be dealing with this terrible news today. Unfortunately, we will be closed until further notice. We have no register to ring up customers and we have damages to clean up.”
“If this individual looks familiar please report him or let us know. He appears well dressed with a groomed beard and jewelry, white jacket and a beanie. We will be looking at our other cameras to find more pictures of this terrible person. Anything you could do to help is appreciated.”
New owner Sam Pierstorff recently purchased the business with his wife, much to the enthusiasm and support of the community. The patio was recently undergoing removal to make way for a new build.
Anyone with information regarding this individual is encouraged to contact the Modesto Police Department and refer to incident number MP24025995.
