Police: 5 stores burglarized at Oviedo shopping center

OVIEDO, Fla. — Detectives spent Wednesday morning investigating a rash of burglaries at a shopping center, the Oviedo Police Department said.

Police said a burglar targeted five adjacent businesses at the Tuscawilla Bend shopping center at Winter Springs Boulevard and West Broadway Street.

Papa Murphy's Take 'N' Bake Pizza, The Pet's Natural Choice, a Subway restaurant, a Hair Cuttery and P&T Nails & Spa were each broken into, investigators said.

Business owners spent Wednesday sweeping up the shattered glass left behind by the culprit.

Debra Phillips-Csuy, who owns The Pet's Natural Choice, said the burglar fruitlessly scaled a counter in search of money.

"There's nothing in (the cash register). We leave it open. If they would have looked in the door we actually used, they wouldn't have messed with our store I think," she said. "Very upset and angry. It financially hits me personally."
