A restaurant administrator for Alicia's Tamale Kitchen on Irvington Boulevard said it happened around 3 a.m.
According to the security footage, a couple of men in a truck pried open the door.
They left with the cash register, but they didn't hit the jackpot. The register only had about $20.
"A few dollars in change, not even $50. And it's not the money they took, it's the damage they caused. This is the second incident in barely a couple of weeks," the administrator said.
He said the damage to the restaurant will cost more money than what was taken.
This is the third break-in for the small business.
