Lewisville business hit by burglars after car hits building

A Lewisville business has been hit by burglars a few weeks after having a car run into its facade. FOX 4's Peyton Yager has more.

LEWISVILLE, Texas - Cameras captured video of two burglars inside a Lewisville restaurant just days after someone crashed into the front of the business.

What we know:

Lewisville police confirmed two masked men broke into the Quickie Crab on Round Grove Road early Monday morning.

Security cameras captured video of rummaging through drawers with sledgehammers and crowbars in hand. They reportedly got away with cash, keys, and credit cards that belong to the business.

Big picture view:

Quickie Crab shared video of the suspects and noted that they’ve had a run of bad luck lately.

Earlier this month, the restaurant was forced to close temporarily after a driver crashed into the front of the building.

"We are blessed that no one was sitting at those front tables and the driver was at that angle instead of the opposite. She is also OK.  Thank you, everyone for the support," the restaurant said on social media.

What they're saying:

FOX 4's Peyton Yager spoke to Brian Bastow, the owner of Quickie Crab, about the recent string of bad luck. He doesn't recognize either of the burglars.

"I never thought it would be that easy for somebody. Not even easy or that somebody would want to do that because we don't keep much on there," Bastow said of the burglars breaking into the cash register. "No excuse for taking advantage of hardworking people."

Of the driver that hit the building, Bastow said "She hit a pillar that was load bearing so we had to get it inspected by an engineer."

What you can do:

The restaurant is currently offering a $500 cash reward for information that leads to the arrest of the men who broke into the restaurant early Monday.

Anyone who recognizes them should call the Lewisville Police Department’s non-emergency line at 972-219-3640.

"We appreciate any help from the community, and we’re hoping our luck turns around soon," the restaurant said.
