Three Claremont businesses along Auto Center Drive were burglarized early Tuesday morning.

Officers initially responded to a burglary alarm at Hayatt Mediterranean Food at approximately 3:15 a.m. on the 400 block of Auto Center Drive. Police determined that an unknown burglar used a rock to smash the front door window, according to the Claremont Police Department.

The burglar gained entry to the business and took an unknown amount of cash.

Once the officers were at the scene, they noticed two nearby businesses—Alamir Bakery and Waba Grill—that were burglarized in the same manner, according to the release. Their burglary alarms were not activated.

The businesses are situated within the same shopping center on the 400 block of Auto Center Drive.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Claremont Police Department at (909) 399-5411.
