Ann Arbor police are reviewing surveillance footage as they work with metro Detroit authorities in an investigation into five burglaries at Five Guys restaurants Monday night, including the restaurant on South State Street.

Other Five Guys Burgers and Fries restaurants targeted were in Canton, Detroit, Livonia and Woodhaven, Ann Arbor police Det. Sgt. Brian Jatczak said.

Jatczak said a person entered the restaurant on South State Street at 1:20 a.m. Monday and stole cash from a drawer. The burglar, who appears to be a man, was inside for 10 minutes, he said. A manager noticed the money was missing at 8 a.m. when she arrived at the restaurant to get ready for the day, he said. She told police that she believes the restaurant had been locked overnight, Jatczak said. However, police did not find signs of forced entry, he said.

Jatczak said he did not have details on how much money was taken during the break-ins.
