Police are investigating a burglary at the Burger King restaurant in Linton early Monday.

The culprit got away with an undisclosed amount of cash.

Linton Police Cpl. Paul F. Clark responded to the scene on State Road 54 on the east end of Linton when the break-in was reported.

According to Clark's report on the incident, when management arrived to open the store Monday morning, they discovered the safe was open and money was missing. The money taken was from cash drawers and a nightly deposit bag.

The report notes the office door was locked at closing the night before and was also locked when management arrived back to work.

The deposit bag had been torn open and cash removed. A deposit slip that had been placed in the bag with the money was wadded up and put back into the empty bag.

The point of entry and possible exit was the back door of the store. Officer Clark found pry marks along the back door and the office door -- all documented by photograph.

Other details about the incident have not been released by the police department as the investigation is ongoing. However, the report does say they have recovered several items of evidence from the scene.

Sound like an inside job to me...I'd be checking the pockets and account of each and every employee.
