Can You Help Catch the Bistro 1051 Bread Bandit?
Don't get between a man and his baguettes.
Most criminals steal dough from a bank. This bandit helped himself to Bistro 1051's baguettes.
After thieves stole a dishwasher from the back of the restaurant and his morning bread delivery went missing twice in December, Bistro 1051 owner Michael Savvis decided to get tough. His newly installed security cameras caught a man swipe a $75 bag of bread from the front of his restaurant again in February.
"It’s a big inconvenience," says Savvis. "The bread comes from New York and you can’t get another delivery that same day."
Savvis handed over the video to Clark Police who are looking for a male suspect in a maroon Ford F-150 pick-up truck.
"It looks like he comes after stopping at Clark Bagel," says Clark Detective George Marmarou.
Perhaps the man has an addiction to carbs?
"The guys is real smooth in the way he does it," says Savvis. "He just walks up, grabs it and throws it in the back of his truck. Maybe it’s someone from another restaurant. I don’t know. We’re very shocked because it's broad daylight when he does it."
Savvis says DiCosmo’s, also located in the Clarkton Shopping Center, has had their bread delivery stolen before, too. Unfortunately, Savvis's surveillance tapes don't make clear the man's license plate.
So, Clark and Garwood, can you help catch the carb crook? Check out our video and photos, comment below and we'll forward leads to the Clark Police Department Detective Bureau.
Got a name? Call Det. Marmarou directly at 732-388-3439.
Savvis is offering a $200 Bistro 1051 gift card reward for any tips that lead to an arrest in the case.

Yes, that does in fact seem to be the problem. But thank you for clarifying.

Maybe the Notre Dame jacket is a clue? No that they are all thieves, but maybe someone else has seen the jacket and truck (both a little distinctive) but not really remember the guy. Just a thought. Good luck catching the Gluten Grabber!

Cant see the license plate. But, can you see the back of his jacket? It looks like he has another bag on the front seat. Maybe when hes caught he could get a ticket for driving across all those parking spots and walkway. Cant wait to see his name and the name of his business. Not someone you want to hire

He probably owns a deli somewhere and uses the bread there. What else would you do with all that bread?
Should be easy to catch.
