CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — An investigation is underway to find out who broke into a popular fast food restaurant on Corpus Christi's southside early Monday morning.
Corpus Christi police officers were called to the Chick-Fil-A restaurant in the 5900 block of Saratoga Boulevard across from CHRISTUS Spohn South Hospital just after 3:30 a.m. Monday. Police said the burglar alarm sounded after someone broke in by hitting a large window with a sledge hammer.
There is no word if anything was taken.
Investigators told 3News that three men were trying to open a safe in the store when the alarm went off. The suspects took off before police officers could get to the scene, but they were seen fleeing into a nearby field.
