Serial burglar targets Bellaire business

A serial burglar appears to be behind at least four break-ins, some caught on tape at a family-owned business in Bellaire. FOX 26 Reporter Randy Wallace explains. 

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - Any kid would love to spend time at We Rock the Spectrum, a kid's gym in Bellaire specifically designed for sensory play and kids on the spectrum. But there's a repeat uninvited visitor that's stealing cash and even treats meant for kids.

What they're saying:

"We discovered some cash missing one day, and we have a CCTV, so we checked the tapes to see an individual had let himself in," said Kyle Loyd, who owns We Rock the Spectrum Bellaire with his wife, Joan. "He went straight to our desk, found our cash drawer, and started taking what he wanted."

The couple realized the same burglar had been there before, possibly four times.

In addition to taking money, the thief also loads up on snacks meant for kids visiting the gym.

"Do something better with your time," said Kyle.

"And leave us alone," said Joan.
