On Wealthy Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan, two businesses have been broken into within the past week, causing frustration and disappointment for the local community. The first incident occurred at Wealthy Street Bakery, where masked robbers tried to break into the front door but were unsuccessful. In response, they smashed a side window and left empty-handed as there was no cash left out overnight.
Just days later, Good Judys Market and Juice Bar, located near Wealthy Street Bakery, was also targeted by thieves. A large piece of asphalt was thrown through their glass door, prompting the business to close temporarily while an investigation was conducted. It is currently unclear if anything was taken from Good Judys during the break-in.
Both businesses expressed their frustration at the break-ins, with the Operations Manager of Wealthy Street Bakery noting that small businesses like theirs do not keep large amounts of cash on hand. The Grand Rapids Police Department is currently investigating both incidents and has not yet determined if they are connected. Residents and businesses in the area are being vigilant and taking precautions to prevent further break-ins.
