Alleged thief caught on CCTV breaking into Remy’s Deep Dish Pizza and Bar

He allegedly took thousands in cash and products from a CBD pizza bar, left fingerprints everywhere, was caught on CCTV and forgot the expensive booze.

An alleged thief captured on CCTV breaking into a city pizza restaurant and stealing thousands of dollars worth of cash and products perpetrated one of the “worst heists of all time”, owners say.

Josh River, who co-owns Remy’s Deep Dish Pizza and Bar on Lindes Lane off Rundle Mall, said the break-in was a blow to staff because the restaurant opened only three months ago.

Police have launched an investigation to find the suspect who broke in between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.

Mr River said he posted CCTV images to his business’s social media in an effort to help police in identifying the suspect, who appears to be a man in his 20s, with dark brown hair, wearing black pants, a black and white long-sleeve top, a catering apron, and black shoes.

He took to Facebook to announce the break-on on Thursday.

“Thankfully it’s got to be one of the worst heists of all time,” he wrote.

“It was pretty obvious there had been a break-in … it was a terrible break-in.

“There are so many of his fingerprints … the crime scene investigator almost ran out of fingerprint powder dusting for them.”

Police are investigating a recent break-in at Remy's Deep Dish Pizza and Bar. The restaurant has provided CCTV of the suspect.

In the video, the suspect is pictured casually taking cash from the till, and taking bottles of what appear to be alcohol off the shelf.

“Just to top it off he took the cheapest bottle of gin, when he could have picked from plenty of other high-grade products.”

Mr River said more than $3000 worth of cash and products were taken, but the most disappointing loss was their tip jar.

“It’s such a blow for staff … they are all pretty upset … we lost our tip jar, which was going towards our staff show.”
